 Activities include:

Students will measure an area of the carpet using masking tape

Students will practice perimeter and area word problems using Moby
Max
Students will assist teacher with explaining perimeter and area to
other students

Opening questions include:

Could anyone explain what Im talking about when I say perimeter?

Could anyone explain what Im talking about when I say area?
In what ways could you use the measurements at your home? In
class?
