Square Skills

We are learning to explore the relationship between area and perimeter using multiplication.

1. Grandma has 24 squares in shades of purple.

Draw the different ways that she could make

rectangular shapes using all 24 squares.

2.  For quilts, Grandma buys binding to stitch

around the outside (the perimeter).

1. 2400
2. perimeter = 110

3.Grandma has cut out 36 squares with flower patterns on them.

a.

Both shapes need the same amount of binding.

This task involved me designing and then finding the area and perimeter of the shapes.
