We have been learning about perimeter in my class this week. We talked about how perimeter measures the outside or the "rim" of a shape. Then we used 1" tiles to build shapes and find the perimeter of each shape. This is a video of one of my students explaining how to find the perimeter of a rectangle that he built.
The Perimeter Song is supposed the be to the tune of " Hi-Ho the Diary-O." This is a fun and easy way to help your students remember what the perimeter is and how to find it.
