students tell me they remembered the difference between area and perimeter and they repeated the movements i used to make when they were in my class.
when my students do this activity, they repeat my gestures every time!
thanks! hope it works for you!
i like this! thank you for sharing!
i also tell my kids that the word perimeter has the word rim in it. then i draw the basketball hoop and show them the rim and a tire and show them the rim and they notice that they both go around. then we make the connection of rim in perimeter. . . it goes around.
you can also sing. . .
perimeter goes around.
