This week is Spring Break for me. I'm sitting at home enjoying this beautiful weather (and so glad winter is o-v-e-r!) and spending time with my kiddos. It's also a bittersweet time for me because really, I know when I return after this week, I only have a few more weeks left. Those few weeks will be greeted with excitement that I will have my summer off here soon but sadness that soon they'll be leaving me. And really, whether I like it or not, I still need to plan for those last few weeks. As I head into area and perimeter for one of the last units of math, I started collecting a ton of fantastic ideas and FREE resources to teach it. Over at my blog you can, not only read up on lots of fantastic ideas but you can also, collect this cute little freebie that I created to go with the collection! This freebie is where students can create their own "Art Area Gallery." Students create pictures and then determine the area of them. You can get this freebie and gather some great ideas and free resources over at my blog with my collection of area and perimeter blog post by some great teachers! Hope to see you soon... and it won't be long before we are enjoying our summer!

Hello Everyone! Thanks for stopping by! I have to tell you, I am loving this whole blogging thing. I hope to learn how to upload some of my printables very soon. Check back again for things like that! There were two activities that ended up being our favorites today! The first one is math related. We have been working on "area" of shapes. The kids have really caught on to simple area, so I decided to challenge them a bit. I gave them a piece of one inch grid paper. They had to use the squares to create one of the animals we have been studying. After a practice sheet, they had to recreate it with markers on a new piece. When finished, they had to document the area of their animal. Fantastic job kids!!! By the look on their faces, I know they were enjoying every minute of it!! Take a look!! practicing area with animal shapes It's a moose, of course! Cute Coyote! Sweet Skunk!! Terrific Turtle! Our next favorite thing was learning about fireflies!!! Fascinating insects! After reading some of our favorite firefly books and poems, enjoying interaction with a firefly in a jar, we practiced the firefly lifecycle, wrote a list of things that also light up the night sky (sorry I don't have a pic of that) and then worked on a craft connection. The kids were given a paper jar to cut out...tricky cutting out the inside! :) The jars were laminated and the film was left in the middle. We then fingerprinted the wings of fireflies with glow in the dark neon paint. Add a silver sharpie body and voila!! So cute!! The kids had a ball!! We will hang these from the ceiling!! Have you seen these?? Battery operated firefly in a jar!! LOOOOOOVE IT!! Click here for your copy! :) Glowing fireflies in a jar! Another awesome day in first grade!!! Thanks for taking a peek!! Have a Glowing tomorrow!! Joyfully! Nancy

If you are tired of assigning final unit tests in math, this Area and Perimeter project is perfect for you! This no-prep, project-based learning task will require students to use their math and critical thinking skills to create an Area and Perimeter Zoo. Students will select animals they want, consider spacing (area) requirements, create spaces that are suitable for each exhibit and calculate the area and perimeter of each space. They will also create an advertisement for their zoo when it is complete. UPDATE: Now available for Google Slides so you can post it to your Google Classroom for differentiation or digital learning. What's Included? Project Outline with requirements Project Outline with blank space in requirements (if you'd like to write your own in) Size Guidelines (a page that tells students the minimum area required for each type of animal - this is optional) Planning Pages Planning Grids (to draw the zoo out) Construction Phase (for calculating area and perimeter) Good Copy Grid Paper Advertisement Assignment (2 versions, 1 filled in and 1 blank) Self Assessment Rubric Rubric with no self-assessment This is printable and digital for Google Slides. The Google Slides version includes a video tutorial you can share with your students. Feel free to check the tutorial out here to get a look at the project, digitally: https://youtu.be/8gw5r1PBjZU OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "My Grade 3's loved doing this project at the end of our Area & Perimeter unit during Distance Learning. They had a lot of fun creating their own zoos and enjoyed the chance to use their imaginations. A lot of the students wanted to share their work with their peers and enjoyed the Media Literacy connections (making a poster). I really appreciate the tutorial for this project, it was very helpful! Thanks!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We used this to wrap up our area unit. The kids loved taking what they learned about area and applying it to a project. I loved that I could differentiate and use paper copies for some kids and digital for other kids. It was awesome having access to both forms. _________________________________________________________________ Want to SAVE MONEY on TPT? Consider leaving feedback!

Here you will find our Area of Rectangle Worksheets collection for kids, from 3rd grade and upwards..

How to find the area of regular and irregular polygons with formula

Students will plot points on the coordinate plane to create 10 polygons around the bunnies. They will calculate the area of the polygons then glue each puzzle piece according to the area. The polygons include triangles, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids. In addition, there are 2 composite figures (rectangle and triangle together). THERE ARE 2 VERSIONS: (1) First Quadrant Only and (2) All Quadrants. This resource is great for self-assessment and looks amazing in math interactive notebooks.

The 3rd grade Common Core standards are pushing us to reach a deeper understanding of many topics. For example, area is covered in much more depth than our previous state standards specified. I've always done a "Dream House" project to help students learn area concepts, and this year I've adapted it to address the following standard: CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.C.7d Recognize area as additive. Find areas of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems. I started this project today and the students are o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d. It was so funny to watch as an idea for a room caught on throughout the class - by the end of class 22/29 of their dream houses included a "Trampoline Room". Haha. Kids are awesome. I'll show you the directions here, along with a picture of each step. At the bottom of the post you can find a link to download the project free at my Teachers Pay Teachers store. 1. Outline your dream house by drawing the outside walls. your dream house should be a compound figure with all right angles. 2. Partition your dream house into rooms. Each room must be a rectangle. As an extension, try making copies of your own outline and see how many different ways students can come up with to partition the same compound figure into rectangles! 3. Label and color each room. But, Ms. Turner, where do you sleep? Why, on a raft in the indoor pool, dahling! 4. Find and record the area of each room. My students used a full page of lined paper to do this, and then recorded their final answers in the space provided on the project page. 5. Add the area of all of your rooms to find the total area of your dream house. Later this week, (assuming the snow ever stops here in Massachusetts and we eventually get to return to school), they'll mount both pages on a big piece of construction paper and we'll display them out in the hallway. It makes for a fun bulletin board! I love this project because the kids LOVE it, and they are using math skills the whole time. I don't like to do a lot of fluffy projects, so this is great because even during the designing phase they are fully engaged in mathematical thinking.

Area and perimeter can be so confusing to 3rd graders. And can drive teachers crazy! Here are some area and perimeter activities...

I develop curriculum for middle school math. I focus on using critical-thinking skills in my content so the math makes sense to the students.

Lesson plans, activities and ideas for kindergarten classrooms, including math problem-solving, reading workshop, writer's workshop, inquiry-based science journals, literacy centers and more!

Teaching area and perimeter can be both challenging and fun. 1. Start with real-world examples. Students will see that it's practical to learn how to calculate area and perimeter if you use examples that are meaningful such as a soccer field, garden, or the classroom. 2. Get out the geoboards. Have students make a rectangle and trade their board with a partner. Each student figures out the area and perimeter of their partner's board. Extend this activity by playing Quiz Quiz Trade with the boards. 3. Practice. Provide students with worksheets for morning work and task cards during math stations. Use shapes made out of colorful wrapping paper or leftover scrapbook paper. 4. Use cheese crackers. Students love this activity: Area and Perimeter Cheese Cracker Math 5. Design figures of a particular area and perimeter. If you have 12 inch tile floors, students can work in pairs to make figures using some painter's tape. For example, have students create a figure that has a perimeter of 8 feet. Then have them find the area. On a smaller scale, use graph paper.
