Area and Perimeter Logic - Intro

This math unit begins with understanding the concept of perimeter through calculating missing side lengths of rectangles using given perimeters and side ratios. It progresses into more complex scenarios where students solve for side lengths with variables and fractional ratios. As the unit advances, the focus shifts toward the area of a rectangle, starting with exercises that require finding a side length given the area and one dimension, escalating to solving with the sides represented as variables and ratios, including fractions. Towards the latter part of the unit, practical applications are introduced where students calculate how many tiles are needed to cover an area, enhancing their understanding of the relationship between area, length, and width. The unit culminates with comprehensive exercises that integrate both perimeter and area calculations to determine rectangle dimensions, thereby reinforcing the students' abilities to apply conceptual and practical understanding of these geometric properties in various contexts.
