This activity the students will use square colored tiles to learn area and perimeter. This hands-on way helps students visualize these concepts. Students will define area as the amount of space inside shape. Cover a rectangle or square with tiles completely, count the number of titles to find the area. Have students create different shapes using the same number of tiles, emphasizing that the area remains constant. Students will use tiles to visualize and arrange into simple shapes to find the perimeter. Let students create shapes with the same number of tiles inside but different perimeters by rearranging the tiles.

Use tiles to visualize and arrange tiles into simple shapes. Counting the tiles along the outside edges. Tiles make abstract concepts like perimeter and students can see and touch the edges of a shape.

Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including: finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting (including, but not limited to: modeling, drawing, designing, and creating) rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters.
