This was a great digital resource! My students not only practiced finding the perimeter of the shapes but area, too! I love that this is digital and can easily be assigned in Google Classroom.

This was exactly what I needed. My students needed some room to show their work so I gave them scratch paper.
Melanie Gerecke –
Such a great resource and super helpful for tutoring! Thank you!

I used these as a ‘Move around the room’ project. I sliced them up and had them at stations around the class. The students really like being able to work together and the peer-to-peer learning was great to see.

Loved these cards as a scavenger hunt for my students, wish there was a bit more problems to solve though.
Heather K. –
Good cards. Wish there were more though! Being in 4th, we don’t find area of triangles so I wish I could have had other cards to replace those.
Yolanda D W. –
My students enjoyed this resource. To add a bit of a challenge fir my higher students I had them compare the the area and the perimeter of the shapes and state which was bigger and there were any similarities.
