Area and Perimeter

Area and Perimeter Project

This is a project you can build and design yourself. You can be as creative as you would like.

You will need: squared paper or regular paper with a ruler and pencil (you need to be able to measure the sides), colored pencils, Lego.

First, think of something you would like to design.

This could be anything, a house, a mall, a theme park, any type of building or area you would like to design.

Optional: build it from Lego first.

Next, map out your design on paper. Squared paper will make it easier, if you would like a challenge use a ruler and pencil and measure each side.

Then, find the area and perimeter of your design.

Remember:

Area = length x width

Perimeter = + all the sides.

Finally, finish your design uisng color and labelling. You can upload to Seesaw to share with your class and teacher.

Need a challenge?

Can you create another design? Compare your 2 designs, which has a larger area? Which has a larger perimeter? Do you notice anything?
