We have been spending quite a bit of time learning about perimeter and area and you are almost professionals! You have two challenges here:
1. First, sing the perimeter and area songs to a family member. If you can, take a video of you singing it and email it to Mrs. Campagna and we’ll put it on your blog! Remember the words:
Perimeter, perimeter, goes around around. Add up all the sides and then you write your answer down!
Area , area, throughout the whole middle. For rectangles it’s base times height and your answer will always be right!
2. Solve the problem below.
I want to build a small football field in my backyard. I need to know how much fencing I have to purchase to surround my whole yard. I also have to know the area , because I want to purchase some artificial grass for the field. Solve the problem to let me know how much fencing I need and how much artificial grass I should buy. Show you work in numbers and words!
My backyard is 20 yards wide and 30 yards long.
If you need to draw a picture to help you, that is a great strategy to use!
Dear mrs Campagna
the area is 600 and the Perimeter is 100
and this is how I got my answer: I added
20 and 30 and I got 100

600 I needed some help with that one

Dear Mrs. Campagna,
I know that the perimeter is 100 and the area is 600. This is the way I solved the problem:
For the perimeter I drew a square and wrote on the top 20 and on the sides 30. Then I added 20+20=40 and I also added 30+30=60. After that, the answer to 60+40 was 100. Now the area was solved like this, I wrote ten times ten equals 100. Then, I tried to solve 30 times 20, but I couldn’t do it. So I did 3 times 2 and got 6. Lastly, I added 0 times 0 and wrote 0 down. Then, I realized that the area couldn’t be 60 because it was to small, so I put down another 0 and the answer was 600.

P.S ignore that messege on your phone
Dear Mrs.Campagna,
My answer is 600 for the area and for the perimeter I got 100. First I thought if I new what 20+20 is I would just add 30+30 to that and then I would get my answer.For area I just thought of what it could be then I rounded up after I rounded I got a caculter and cheked my ansewr.Thats how I got my answer
