This math topic focuses on calculating the perimeter of various geometric shapes, primarily rectangles, by determining how many smaller segments are required to wrap around a larger shape. The skill practiced involves division and multiplication, applying the concept of perimeter in a practical context. Each problem presents a different shape and set of possible answers, where students must analyze the illustration and calculate how many units of a given smaller segment fit into the total perimeter of the larger shape. This area of study is part of a broader introduction to area and perimeter logic.
