Module 2 is a continuation of Module 1. I have assigned you to groups for the discussion. This discussion requires you solve a perimeter problem. Recall P=2W+2L. You will need to know and understand the perimeter formula and be able to solve for the length and width.

Requirements for Discussion Assignments You are required to post one initial post and to follow up with at least two response posts for each discussion assignment. You should post your discussion response first, and then respond to other students.

Mathematical models are constructed for many different practical applications, and we start to look at some of them in this course. This discussion begins with a simple model.

For your initial post (1), you must do the following:

• Solve the problem in the Mobius module discussion. Module 2 is a continuation of Module 1. I have assigned you to groups for the discussion. This discussion requires you solve a perimeter problem. Recall P=2W+2L. You will need to know and understand the perimeter formula and be able to solve for the length and width.
• Explain how you got your answer in the Brightspace module discussion.

For your response posts (2), you must do the following:

• Comment on your classmates' analyses and their answers. Compare and contrast your problem-solving approach to how your classmates solved the problem.
• Review the explanations given by your peers for their problem-solving strategies. Your comments may focus on the following:
  • How did they describe steps to make their explanations clear?
  • What additional details could they have included?
  • What details did they include that you may not have?
  • What changes would you make?
