This math topic focuses on calculating the perimeter of simple shapes. It involves interpreting written descriptions to determine formulas applicable to specific shapes. The problems require recognizing how to calculate perimeter based on the geometry of each shape, such as using four times the side length for squares, summing lengths for triangular shapes, or applying perimeter formulas for rectangles (twice the length plus twice the width). The topic provides an interactive learning approach using images as answer options to visualize and identify the correct shape based on the described perimeter calculation method.
