Description

In this worksheet, students roll dice to set the dimensions of rectangles that they then have to find and area and perimeter for. This helps students understand the relationship between these two concepts. This resource is part of a larger unit where students are introduced to the concept of calculating the area of rectangles and triangles, using metric units.

Suitable for
