Create your own shapes using colorful blocks and explore the relationship between perimeter and area. Compare the area and perimeter of two shapes side-by-side. Challenge yourself in the game screen to build shapes or find the area of funky figures. The PDF from VDOE was added to create an activity which reviews area and perimeter of triangles and rectangles on paper prior to delving into the fun, interactive activity.

This lesson is on Jamboard.  Students will use Desmos calculator to compute the area of the triangles.  Students will also use the formula sheet to use the formula for the problems.

In this task, students will use their knowledge of area and perimeter and explore the best or most unique design for a community garden. Students will represent their garden on a grid and explain why it is the best garden for the community.

Students will find helpful resources for learning and practicing math skills and processes in this eMediaVA collection.

This collection has resources organized by grade level teachers can use to teach math.

Using the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts website, students explore the sculptural work of 20th Century Conceptual artist Sol LeWitt to expand their understanding of geometric concepts, creatively play with mathematical ideas, and be inspired to make art of their own.

The website page provides a scaffolded approach to exploring Sol LeWitt's sculpture titled "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6." culminating in a challenge for students to build a 3-D Tinkercad model of a geometry concept of their own choosing.

Solving practical problems involving the area and perimeter of rectangles and triangles. Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.
