Math
- The student learned the concept of area by understanding how to count unit squares to determine the total area of shapes.
- Through the activity, the student grasped the concept of perimeter by learning to add the lengths of the sides of shapes to find the total perimeter.
- The activity helped in developing the student's spatial reasoning and visualization skills as they worked with different shapes and sizes to calculate area and perimeter.
- The student also practiced their arithmetic skills as they added and multiplied different measurements to find the area and perimeter of shapes.
For further development, encourage the student to design their own shapes and calculate the area and perimeter. They can also explore real-life applications of area and perimeter by measuring rooms in the house or creating a garden plan with specific perimeters.
