How to help with this skill
Fifth graders strengthen work with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages and mathematical expressions.
- Label length and width clearly.
- Multiply length by width for a rectangle’s area.
- Add all four sides, or calculate 2 × (length + width), for perimeter.
Try this: Trace the edge of a book for perimeter and cover its surface with squares for area.
