Fern's Freebie Friday ~ Are You Teaching Perimeter of a Shape?

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

I love teaching perimeter and area! Seriously, if I could, I would teach it all year! Need a fence? Need carpet? Maybe I should just get a job working for Lowe's or Home Depot!

 From experience I had found that my children knew how to find the perimeter and given the perimeter, they could find the missing side. But when testing came, the shapes were unusual, awkward and just plain boring. Let's face it, no child WANTS to take standardized tests, but the more skills we give them, the more success they will have. AND the less likely to give in and just fake the answers.

My favorite tip to help students not miss any sides or double over in their counting of sides is to have them place a dot in the top left hand corner of the shape and then make a tally mark while they mark off and count each side. They will know that they are finished when each side has a tally mark. This tip is especially successful when it is an irregular shape that bends in and out like number 5 and 6 on this image.

Next have them write the answer in the middle of the figure so they will not forget when they are reading the four choices for A, B, C and D, etc.

Using markers also creates a sense of fun and something different in math, so I would recommend using markers when you practice this skill. Speaking of practicing this skill... I have a free worksheet for you at TeacherSherpa. If you are looking for more task cards, center games and printables, I've listed them below from my TpT store.

Looking For Some New Easter Alphabet Color by Code for Your Classroom?

, , , , ,
Have you ever noticed Spring Break either comes too early or too late? Too early and you have a LOOOOOOONG stretch until summer vacation. Too late and you have a LOOOOOOONG stretch from the New Year until Spring Break! I'm a math person, so in my perfect world I would be able to count the number of days from the January return date to the last day of school.... divide by two and Bingo-Bongo, that is the date where Spring Break would be!! Sadly, the school board members who decide on the school schedules are not the ones who have to be in a kindergarten classroom when Spring Fever hits! It's warming up and everything is blooming, but with Spring Break Vacation looming ahead, Spring Fever  usually hit while you're needing to review. My Color By Codes can help you keep a consistent item at one of your literacy centers so that it is completely student directed and the routine is the same each week. Some of the very best 20 minutes of direct teaching you have each day is your small group time. When centers run smoothly, your small group time is less likely to be interrupted.
