Does bigger perimeter mean bigger area? Answer this question when you try this math challenge from the NCTM Math Challenges for Families series. Discover how understanding area and perimeter can be useful in real world situations.

This fifth-grade lesson explores the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths. We tile the rectangle with unit rectangles and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. We multiply...

Learn how to find the areas and perimeters of triangles and special quadrilaterals.

Students can use the data to explore the relationship between area and perimeter for rectangles and circles and they will make generalizations about the shape of the rectangle that will produce the smallest perimeter.

In this Cyberchase video segment, the CyberSquad learns what happens to the area of a rectangle when the shape enclosed by the perimeter changes.

The interactive applet allows learners to explore the relationships between side length, area, and perimeter. Students see how changes in the scale factor influence the ratio of areas and perimeters. [Requires Java.]

This activity operates in one of two modes: auto draw and create shape mode, allowing you to explore relationships between area and perimeter.

In this task, 6th graders must inches to feet in order to find the area of a rectangular board and explain the error in the calculations made by the board owner. Aligns with 6.RP.A.3.

This task asks students to determine the area of the exterior walls of a barn and to calculate how many gallons of paint would be needed to cover them, as well as the cost of the paint. Aligns with 6.G.A and 6.RP.A.3.
