What to Focus On

  • Perimeter means the length of the border of a shape.
  • The border is the outer edge of the shape.
  • If all sides are equal, perimeter is found by adding all sides.
  • Area means the region covered by a shape.
  • Triangles, squares, and rectangles tile a surface without gaps and overlaps.
  • Circles leave gaps when used to cover a region.
  • 1 unit square is a square with side 1 unit.
  • A square is used as the unit because all its sides are equal.
  • Square grids make area measurement easy.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Perimeter and area mean the same thing.

If the area of a rectangle increases, the perimeter must also increase.

Any shape can tile a surface without gaps and overlaps.

Memory Tips

Perimeter means the length of the border of a shape

Area means the region covered by shapes like triangles, squares, or rectangles

Squares, rectangles, and triangles tile without gaps and overlaps
