Product Description
- Problem Solving with Area and Perimeter
- Multi-Step Problems
- Higher Order Thinking Questions
In this challenge activity, students are given 12 open ended measurement problems where they must solve for area, perimeter, length, or width. All 12 problems have multiple steps. Some problems explicitly ask for area, perimeter, length, or width, but others ask for “how much trim is needed to go around” or “how many square units of grass will be needed to cover.” At the end, students are asked to write their own question when given a rectangle with one side measurement. Then the reflect on how formulas helped them solve problems with area and perimeter.
This product is will truly challenge your students as it requires them to really understand area and perimeter formulas. For example, in one problem students are given the length of one side and perimeter and then asked to find area. For assistance, students are given an Answer Bank as well as formulas for area and perimeter. Each problem has a picture, and students are encouraged the label the measurements on each rectangle.
