My Amazing, Awesome Dream Room.

 WALT: Find the Area and Perimeter of different shapes.

Today I created my dream room. Then I calculated the area and perimeter for all the furniture/objects in my room.

Check it out!

Find the perimeter and area.

WALT. Find the perimeter and area of different shapes.

Perimeter is the distance around the outside of a shape.

The formula for perimeter/to find perimeter, you add up all the lengths of the sides. Area is the space inside a shape. What is the formula to find area, Length x Width = Area. Vise versa. 

I measured a carpet square. The perimeter was 60 centimeters, the area was 625? (I times d 5 x 5 then 25 x 25 and I ended up with 625

I enjoyed doing work on perimeter. When it came to area it became difficult, I couldn’t move onto the next shape, because on perimeter, it was easy because we could add up all the sides together but area, we had to times it and I had a hard time getting the answer.

Have you ever measured something?
