Perimeter
The perimeter is the distance around the outer limits of any two dimensional object.
PerimeterLook at the sides of an object.
They come together to make a shape.
PerimeterIf we want to know the distance around the shape, we measure the sides and add the lengths.
No matter how odd the shape is, you just add the sides together.

AreaThe area of a figure measures the size of the region enclosed by the figure. This is usually expressed in terms of some square unit.
The area in INSIDE the figure and is expressed as square meters, square centimeters, square inches, or square feet.
Area
DifferenceWhat is the difference between
AREA and PERIMETER?
Why do people confuse AREA and PERIMETER?
MisconceptionsAfter giving definitions for perimeter and area, Mrs. Gonzalez gave her class the following problem.
Find the area and perimeter for the square that has a side of 4 inches.
MisconceptionsGianni, a student in the class drew the square on his paper:
Gianni indicated each side of the square was 4”.

36 square units 36 ÷ 6 = 6
MisconceptionsChristy did the following:
What did she do? Is she correct?
36 square units 6 inches
MisconceptionsIf this represented a square pizza, what would be the length of the cheese stuffed crust?
