Pros
- Two examples of solving a perimeter problem using an area model help encourage understanding
Cons
- The visual example provided in the first problem only explores one option for using the area model, counting by ones; ask your class to find other strategies, such as skip counting or adding
- The common mistake section reviews area versus perimeter, but would fit better before the first area problem instead of after
