Yep…a whole unit on area and perimeter, ready to go! Just print and gather a few handy supplies.

This area and perimeter unit is designed for high engagement and an interactive classroom. Whether you enjoy breaking your class up into smaller groups to utilize guided math and math centers or you prefer to keep them together for large group instruction, you will have everything you need included in this area and perimeter unit. Add a few dice and a couple packs of dollar-store playing cards to watch math come alive!

Each area and perimeter math lesson includes:

This is a comprehensive area and perimeter unit covers the 3rd-grade CCSS for math and math TEKS related to area and perimeter. 

4 INSTRUCTIONAL LESSONS + 1 REVIEW LESSON + 1 ASSESSMENT. 

The following lessons are included in this unit:

➡️ Area of Regular Shapes

➡️ Area of Irregular Shapes

➡️ Perimeter

➡️ Using Formulas for Perimeter

This area and perimeter unit is an effective and easy-to-implement plan to meet the increased expectations for rigor in math classrooms while still feeding your student’s need for play. The lessons and activities in this area and perimeter unit can each be used independently or woven together into a guided math block.

An example of a 90-minute daily math block might look like this: 

• Whole group mini-lesson 10-15 minutes
• Peer practice follow-up activity 10-15 minutes
• Group time organization-assign students to groups and front load the directions for small group and station tasks
• Rotating station work-60 minutes broken up into 20 min chunks.
• Station 1: Teacher table-we dig deeper and complete the worksheet, reteaching or extending as needed. (BONUS-I grade the papers as we go!)
• Station 2: Notebooking-students add the INB pieces to their notebooks and work the math included
• Station 3: Game of the day with a recording sheet (sometimes I even send these home for homework so parents can see how much fun their kids are having learning about area and perimeter!)
