This math topic focuses on calculating the perimeter of simple shapes. It helps learners identify different approaches based on the shapes presented, such as using formulas like "four times the side length," "side A + side B + side C," and "twice the length plus twice the width." The problems involve applying these perimeter formulas to various shapes depicted in images, enhancing the understanding of geometric properties and perimeter calculations.
