Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Solve Problems With Perimeter Of Polygons. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Given a rectangle in a real-world context with area, A, create or identify another rectangle with same area, A, and different perimeter.

Given a rectangle, in real world contexts, with perimeter, P, create or identify other additional rectangle(s) having the same perimeter but different area.

Find perimeters of polygons in real-world contexts, including finding an unknown side length.

Find perimeters of polygons in real-world contexts, given all whole-number measures.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

In this game you will need to add fences around animals-how do you think you could figure out the measurements? How are a square and a rectangle different and alike? How would this way change if one side was missing, and you were asked to find the missing side when you are given the perimeter?

After the Game

How is a fence like the perimeter of the rectangles in the game? Did it matter how you solved the problem if the space was an odd shape? What is the difference in finding the area vs. the perimeter of a shape?
