BANSHO! (Not really)

In class, we are doing something called BANSHO. Well, we havent REALLY started it yet, but we have started the apartments which is sort of like BANSHO. First, BANSHO is this Japenese style of learning. I think it's where you all do something and then share it? I'm not so sure. I will reasearch it, probably. We are doing the apartments, which is you get a "roommate" and a fake apartment. It's really fun. So, first you get a sheet of paper with tiny squares on it. Then you get a bunch of fake furniture, and you and you make rooms and put the furniture in. Then you have to measure the area and the perimeter of each room, using the formulas: area: LxW= Whatever
perimeter: 2L+2W=Whatever Then, whatever+whatever= whatever
Eventually you will have to measure the whole apartment, and this is where it gets tricky.
CHEAT: The area of the apartment is 260ft(square) and the perimeter is: 76ft.
If you are in Shauna's class and you are not done, this will help. All the whole apartments P and A
are the same XD


Thanks!
