Area and Perimeter

WALT: solve problems using perimeter and area on Studyladder.

I remember perimeter is the distance around  the shape. People would use perimeter when they are planning to build a fence around their lawn, pool, etc.

This is a game of Perimeter that I played on Study ladder. I got 2 green faces which makes me happy.

I remember area is something you’d use on a flat surface like the floor. Area is used when people putting in tiles in the restroom, bark in a playground and so much more.

This is the area worksheet that was given to the class. I also got a green face on this activity.

I think I have a good understanding of perimeter and area because of the evidence above.

I think what can extend me is if I can get better and better at this topic.

WALT: create a garden with a pool using square units.

I had plenty of fun during this activity. We learned the concept of area. I thought this was extremely interesting because we used the prices of real objects. I found how expensive pools are to build. I think this would be most described as easy for me because as a class, we worked out how much our pools costed. We also used a calculator to help with the multiplication.
