Suitable for Grades: 3rd Grade
CCSS: 3.MD.D.8
CCSS Description: Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters.
Comparing Areas and Perimeters (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This series of differentiated worksheets enables students to recognise that shapes with the same areas can have different perimeters and vice versa. This version uses pentominoes and asks students to find the perimeter of five of them discovering that there is an odd one out. Students will also make their own shapes using six squares on square grids to create shapes with the same area but different perimeters.
