Students will participate in hands-on learning activities to strengthen their understanding of the concepts of perimeter and area. List of possible resources included, but tape mea. The teacher calls out in a sing-song or goofy voice if you'd like Perimeter Then calls out, area!!!
When the kids hear the word area , they have to go across the area to the other side, while being careful NOT to bump into anyone else. The tagger then moves to the perimeter. Once kids make it to the perimeter, they are safe. Playing this game is a great way to help those kids who still have trouble remembering the difference between the area and the perimeter, no matter how many times we remind them! Cheez-It or Rice Chex Exploration. Since this activity involves food, you'll want to make sure to check on any school guidelines regarding food before proceeding.
Also, since some kids have food allergies, that's something else to consider. If kids have wheat, soy, or dairy allergies, Rice Chex may be used instead of Cheez-Its. To prepare for this activity, I have the Cheez-Its or Rice Chex counted out ahead of time and placed in baggies to make it quick and easy to pass these out.
Giving each child a quick squirt of hand sanitizer before starting is a great idea too! Newsprint is pretty cheap and works well too.
Kids will come up with different answers for some of these, and we discuss how that's okay and that often times, several answers will be correct.
Sometimes, I'll ask them to make a shape with a perimeter of 12 for example. Then I'll ask them to make a different shape with a perimeter of Lots of learning taking place with this hands on lesson. Right before we end the lesson, I ask the kids to make two different polygons and to write down the perimeter and area for each next to the polygons.
Then I walk around doing quick spot checks and once checked, the kids can eat their Cheeze-Its, and recycle their greasy paper. Geoboards for Area and Perimeter. If you are lucky enough to have a class set of geoboards, now is a great time to use them. This activity is similar to the Cheeze-It activity. You can ask students to make a square with an area of 16, or make a polygon with a perimeter of Triangles can also be made, although we know that going from one peg to another diagonally is not exactly the same length as going vertically or horizontally from one peg to another.
It's up to you if you want to include triangles or to stick with squares and rectangles. After we've done lots of examples together, one thing I do like to do at the end of this lesson is to have kids create two shapes.
One is strictly for perimeter, so it can be any shape. The other should be a square or rectangle so the area can be easily determined. This gives kids added practice and sometimes a little help or confirmation from another classmate. Most kids LOVE seeing their names as art! Luckily enough, area and perimeter was the next concept on our pacing guides. I knew this topic tends to come easier for 3rd graders. We started off slowly in our textbooks.
We then moved on to an interactive activity from Blair Turner that had us using different methods of finding perimeter. Next, I gave my students Geoboards with different shapes and asked them to determine the perimeter.
For some this was hard… they wanted to know exactly how I wanted them to find the perimeter… sorry it was time for some problem-solving skills to kick in! After an initial pause and the deer in headlights look, their math skills took over thank God and the class was buzzing. We then moved on to area… We began in our books and quickly transferred to manipulatives. Much more exciting! I gave my students pentominoes, the yellow shapes you see in the pictures below, and they practiced finding the area.
We ALSO found the perimeter! Plus some extra practice never hurt, right? Eventually, they figured out that each square tile was an inch and no longer needed to place the tiles on top.
We then went back to our Geoboards and found both the perimeter and area of a shape. Again I let them use whatever method they felt most comfortable with.
Another day, I used painters tape to tape off different areas on the floor.
