On Tuesday we defined the formulas for area and perimeter as:
Perimeter = the sum of all sides of a polygon (multi-sided shape that is a closed figure)
Area = length x width OR base x height
Getting in to the mindset of area = base x height will help students with their work on Wednesday!
We studied and practiced area and perimeter of shapes that are both regular and irregular, where students sometimes had to investigate further to find out any missing measurements before they could determine area or perimeter.
