This last week we learned a little bit about perimeter and area. I took the opportunity to relate perimeter and area to our repeated addition and multiplication. Later in the week, I also gave the kids some graph paper to design buildings, castles, or houses. Then they had to find the area of their building. The kids got really creative, and I think they will get even better with time! I can’t wait to upload a few of those pictures after we finish MAP testing. Here are a few pictures from the first time they worked on perimeter and area.
