28 Creative Area and Perimeter Activities for the Classroom
SHARE

Area and perimeter are essential concepts for young students to grasp as they learn about shapes and measurements. These concepts are practical and applicable to real-life scenarios, such as measuring rooms for rugs or calculating the amount of paint needed for walls. To make learning about area and perimeter engaging and hands-on, here are some exciting activities and explorations for students:

  1. Tiling Area and Perimeter Chart: Start by using square counting tiles to help students understand the concept of area and perimeter. Have students build different shapes with tiles and calculate the area and perimeter of each shape.
  2. Graph Paper Person: Have students create a "drawing" of a person using colored squares on graph paper. Then, ask them to calculate the perimeter and area of their person.
  3. Sticky Note Measurement: Ask students to create designs using colorful sticky notes and then calculate the perimeter and area of the designs. Challenge them to create shapes with specific perimeter or area measurements.
  4. Math Letter Mosaic: Using sticky notes, have students create mosaics of capital letters and calculate the perimeter and area of each letter.
  5. LEGO Land: Allow students to build flat designs with LEGO bricks that match specific perimeter and area measurements.
  6. Floor Tile-Style Field Trip: Take students on a field trip to measure the area and perimeter of shapes created using floor tiles.
  7. Dream House Room Design: Have students design rooms in their dream house on graph paper, calculate the area and perimeter of each room, and create a floor plan.
  8. Perimeter and Area Museum: Create a museum on students’ desks with exhibits showcasing different perimeters and areas of shapes.
  9. Perimeter and Area Hunt: Organize a scavenger hunt where students measure the perimeter and area of flat models created with multilink cubes.
  10. Vegetable Garden Planner: Ask students to plan a vegetable garden on graph paper, color-code the areas for different vegetables, and calculate the perimeter and area of each section.

    These interactive activities help students visualize and understand the concepts of area and perimeter in a fun and practical way. Incorporating hands-on experiences into math lessons can enhance learning and make abstract concepts more concrete for students.
