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?
