Perimeter: The "fence" around a shape. Add up all the side lengths.
Area of Squares, Rectangles, Triangles and Parallelograms: The "grass" inside a shape. Always use square units (e.g. m2). Formulas will be posted on the board.
Composite Shapes: Finding the area of larger shapes made up of squares and rectangles. For example: "L or T shaped" rooms. Strategy: "Slice" the shape into smaller rectangles, find the area of all, and add them together.
