Perimeter and Area

Funbrain has a wonderful game for you to play on Perimeter and Area.  It calculates how many questions were answered correctly and incorrectly.  Keep playing to ensure you know the rules for Perimeter and Area.

Review:

Perimeter = length + width + length + width

Area = length x width 

Parents/Guardians:

This website is useful for students to use since it falls under the Mathematics curriculum for the grade four and five Measurement unit.  The activity falls under the specific expectation, “determine, through investigation, the relationship between the side lengths of a rectangle and its perimeter and area,” (page 70) for grade four and “estimate and measure the perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons, using a variety of tools,” (page 80) for grade five.
