Overview:
Students find the perimeter of regular shapes by counting squares along the edges. Designed for students in years 3 and 4.
Learning Objectives:
- Calculate the perimeter of regular shapes by counting squares.
- Understand the concept of perimeter as the total length around a shape.
- Develop skills in visualising and measuring shapes using a grid.
How the Activity Works:
Students are presented with regular shapes on a grid. They will count the number of squares along each side of the shape to determine its perimeter. This activity helps students develop a concrete understanding of perimeter and reinforces their ability to use a grid to measure and calculate the perimeter of various shapes.
