This week we had a lot of fun exploring area & perimeter of rectangles! Students were tasked with showing their understanding of these concepts and their calculations by creating their own rectangles and finding their area and perimeter.
Once students mastered the area and perimeter of rectangles they were encouraged to create more intricate polygons comprised of right angles. They could then calculate the perimeters based on their code and also, separate the shapes into rectangles and calculate the area of the entire shape. This was so important for them to see how area can be additive! They did a wonderful job!
