Area Lesson

Teacher Notes: This lesson includes a world with tutorials about area and perimeter. After walking through the tutorials, students are asked to build structures with specific areas/perimeters.

*It is helpful to give students graph paper to plan their structures before they build*

Student Step 1: Download the World

The download link below is a little strange! When you click it, you may not go to a different page.

Instead, you will just notice a file download icon in the bottom left hand corner of your browser window.

You will see this at the bottom of your screen.(But you don't need to click it)

Student Step 2: Load the World

For this lesson, each student will live in his/her own "world." Each person will be the only player in their world.
