Description
This perimeter and area practice and review activity is great to use with your 3rd, 4th, or 5th graders at the end of your unit of study, as a refresher, or even for test prep. This unique approach to finding the perimeter and area of irregular shapes for upper elementary students will be enjoyable for your kids, because they'll be using their creations to practice their skills.
- This activity includes:
-a 1 page teacher's guide
This will tell you exactly what you need to do for easy teacher prep, then it will take you step by step through 2 different ideas for lesson plans.
-a QR code page
This page will link you and your students right to some fun instructional videos to review area and perimeter.
-3 different levels of the activity
Each of the 3 levels (9 pages total) includes:
"Creating" page
This page allows kids to get creative as they color and/ or create their own picture on graph paper with carefully outlined directions.
"Finding the Area and Perimeter" page
Each of these pages is carefully scaffolded to match the "Creating" page, so your students can feel successful as they find the perimeter and area of their picture.
"Showing the Area" page
These pages are also carefully scaffolded to go with each "Creating" page. Students will use careful planning as they find the area of their shape using equations, instead of counting, one section at a time.
-an answer dey for all 9 of the student pages
I have included suggestions for how to teach different levels of the area lessons on the 3 different leveled versions.
These are useful, ready to go, NON-WORKSHEET resources.
