Perimeter Intro

This math unit focuses on developing students' skills in calculating perimeters, beginning with simpler shapes like rectangles and progressively involving more complex shapes such as triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and kites. Initially, students practice using visual aids and multiple-choice questions to understand perimeter concepts in real-world contexts such as parks, gardens, and artworks. The unit then deepens their understanding by introducing missing side calculations for parallelograms and engaging them with irregular shapes on grids, enhancing their ability to visually assess and compute perimeters. Towards the end, the unit solidifies these concepts through repeated practice with various shapes and dimensions, preparing students to efficiently solve perimeter problems and apply these skills in practical geometrical calculations.
