Area and Perimeter

For some reason my sweet kiddos cannot keep area and perimeter straight!

There are several ways I encourage my students to remember the difference.

Area sounds like ARRAY. We all know what an ARRAY looks like from multiplication.

PeRIMeter has the word RIM. We all know that the RIM means the circle around the basketball hoop.

I'm a little bit obsessed with this new website I found called http://www.mathworksheets4kids.com/
They have everything. I don't consider myself a "worksheet teacher." I like more hands-on activities, but these worksheets are perfect for homework!

They have a plethora of different worksheets for my current topic.

Here's the pack I made just specifically for area and perimeter.
