Area & Perimeter

We have been learning about how to determine the area and perimeter of shapes.  Today we used grid paper and dice to review these concepts.  Students had to work with a partner to roll the dice, then draw the shape.  For example, if they rolled a 2 and a 3, their shape would have a perimeter of 10 and an area of 6.  They were challenged to fill the grid paper without leaving any open spots.  We had so much fun, we didn't even realize we were learning!  :)
