Area and perimeter are two important and fundamental parts of mathematics.\u00a0 They are the foundation for understanding other aspects of geometry which help us understand algebra, trigonometry, and calculus.<\/p>\n

Since math builds upon itself, it is important for students to learn about area and perimeter.\u00a0 Learning about area and perimeter will give the students a chance to use real math that people need and use outside of school.\u00a0 Many careers like architecture, aeronautical and graphics design, engineering,\u00a0 and many others, include the use of area and perimeter on a regular basis.\u00a0 With some of these careers, it is crucial to know and understand the importance of these topics.<\/p>\n

This week our focus has been perimeter.\u00a0 We have investigated many hands on learning experiences that enable students to have a deep understanding of perimeter concepts.<\/p>\n

\"We
We used one inch tiles to determine the perimeter of given shapes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Using
Using geoboards to create shapes with specific perimeters helped us build a better understanding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"We
We created perimeter art using pattern blocks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During the next two short weeks, we will investigate area and how in connects to perimeter!\u00a0 Look forward to more posts about this subject!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
