Third Graders Explore Area and Perimeter.

Third grade students learned about area and perimeter by creating polygons using tape, teamwork, and a little imagination.

Once they created their polygon, they measured the length of each side and then added up all sides to find the perimeter.



Next, they counted up the tiles inside their polygon to calculate the area.



Finally the students drew their polygons on
