Area is the amount of space inside the boundary of a two-dimensional shape. It is measured in square units such as square centimeters, square meters, or square inches. Perimeter is the distance around the outside of a two-dimensional shape. It is measured in linear units such as centimeters, meters, or inches. A rectangle is a four-sided shape with opposite sides that are equal in length and parallel to each other. The formula to calculate the area of a rectangle is length times width, and the formula for the perimeter is (length + width) x 2.

Question: You are an architect responsible for building a playground for a school. How can you use area and perimeter to build the playground? Clues: • Area is the amount of space enclosed by a two-dimensional shape. • Perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a two-dimensional shape. • To calculate area and perimeter, you need to know the length and width of a shape. In pairs: Select and solve one of the tasks: A. Work with a partner to draw a playground using the area and perimeter you have calculated. B. Explain why it is important to use area and perimeter to build the playground accurately.
