View Curriculum Codes   
Description

Get your students applying their perimeter knowledge in a real-world setting! Students will use  Page 1 of Sam’s School to calculate the perimeter of each space on the school. Students record their working out and answer on Page 2.  This activity is a step up from the Fred’s Farm resource as part our Perimeter Unit Plan.

Suitable for
