My Homework Lesson 1 Hands On Find Perimeter
Tanesha Prately
Our Introduction to Perimeter lesson plan teaches students what perimeter is and how to measure it. Students complete practice problems where they find the perimeter of polygons and other objects. They will also learn some real world applications using perimeter.
Lesson Objectives and Overview: Introduction to Perimeter teaches students the definition of perimeter and how to find the perimeter of various polygons and other objects. This engaging lesson incorporates collaborative learning and reinforces the concepts with students as they identify real-world uses for perimeter. This lesson is for students in 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and 4th grade.
Every lesson plan provides you with a classroom procedure page that outlines a step-by-step guide to follow. You do not have to follow the guide exactly. The guide helps you organize the lesson and details when to hand out worksheets. It also lists information in the blue box that you might find useful. You will find the lesson objectives, state standards, and number of class sessions the lesson should take to complete in this area. In addition, it describes the supplies you will need as well as what and how you need to prepare beforehand. For this lesson, the supplies you will need are string, scissors, scratch paper, rulers, and the handouts. To prepare for this lesson ahead of time, you can measure and cut the string as needed, gather the supplies, and copy the handouts.
The Introduction to Perimeter lesson plan includes three content pages. The lesson begins by defining perimeter as the distance around the outside of a shape or an area. We usually measure this distance in inches, feet, or miles. For example, you might measure the perimeter of a playing card in inches, a lake in feet, and a country in miles. You can find the perimeter, or the outside boundary of something, of almost anything! A room in your house, a parking lot, the block that you live on, and more! Perimeters can be any size and include straight or curved lines. Students will next learn some of the ways we use perimeter. We use it to figure out what length of fence we need for a house, the right size picture frame to buy, or how long a track for running is!
Next, students will discover how to find perimeter. First, you have to decide whether you want to measure the perimeter in inches, feet, or miles. The lesson provides the example of a playing card. Because playing cards are small, you would use inches to measure the perimeter. All you have to do is add the lengths of the four sides of the card together. The four sides in this example are 3, 3, 2, and 2 inches, so the perimeter is 10 inches.
The Introduction to Perimeter lesson plan includes three worksheets: an activity worksheet, a practice worksheet, and a homework assignment. You can refer to the guide on the classroom procedure page to determine when to hand out each worksheet.
For the homework assignment, students will look at a road map and answer questions about it. These questions involve finding the perimeter of various parts of the map. They will also have to solve a perimeter word problem.
This lesson plan includes answer keys for the practice worksheet and the homework assignment. No answer key is provided for the activity worksheet. If you choose to administer the lesson pages to your students via PDF, you will need to save a new file that omits these pages. Otherwise, you can simply print out the applicable pages and keep these as reference for yourself when grading assignments.

In order to find the total area of an odd-shaped figure, you just need to find the area of each smaller figure and add them together. To find the total perimeter, you measure the outside of the entire figure, instead of each smaller figure.
It can be hard to find measurements of the sides of odd-shaped figures, especially without all the necessary information. The lesson includes an example that shows what you can do in a situation like this. You can use the information from one side of the figure to determine the length of other sides. You can look at the example in the lesson for a more detailed walkthrough. Sometimes you can find a missing measurement for an odd-shaped figure by observing the lengths or widths of the side directly across from it. In other cases, you may need to either add or subtract various measurements to find the missing length or width.
Once you have all of the measurements for a figure, you can use that information to find the area and perimeter of that figure. The best way to do this is to cut the figure up into smaller rectangles. The lesson shows an example of this.
To summarize, you should first find any missing measurements. Next, you should cut the figure into small rectangles and squares. You should then find the area of each smaller figure and add them together to find the total area. Finally, you should find the perimeter of the figure by tracing the outline of the entire figure. Another method is to find the area of a large shape and subtract the missing piece. The lesson shows an example of how to do this.
In future lessons, students will learn how to find the area and perimeter of other odd-shaped geometric shapes. For all of these shapes, all they need to do is cut the figure up into smaller squares, rectangles, triangles, or circles, and add them together. It can be helpful for them to think of these shapes as puzzles that they can take apart and put back together.
The More Area and Perimeter lesson plan includes three worksheets: an activity worksheet, a practice worksheet, and a homework assignment. You can refer to the guide on the classroom procedure page to determine when to hand out each worksheet.
For the practice worksheet, students will find the missing measurements for each room of the house shown on the worksheet. They will find the area and perimeter of each room, and will record their answers in the chart provided on the worksheet.
This lesson plan includes answer keys for the practice worksheet and the homework assignment. If you choose to administer the lesson pages to your students via PDF, you will need to save a new file that omits these pages. Otherwise, you can simply print out the applicable pages and keep these as reference for yourself when grading assignments.
