&nbsp;Pull out a tub of Legos and give directions&nbsp;such as these:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make a rectangle with an area of 16 dots.<\/li>\n<li>Make a square that has a perimeter of 12 dots.<\/li>\n<li>A rectangle has a perimeter of 22 dots, the width is 5. &nbsp;What is the length? &nbsp;What would the area of that shape be?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&rsquo;ve created a couple of printables to use as center work after you have introduced the idea.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner456.com\/wp-content\/pdf\/math\/geometry\/legomath1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lego Math 1<\/a> &nbsp;Students use the given dimensions to create a rectangle. &nbsp;Students then draw a picture of what they created on their paper. &nbsp;This page has four problems.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner456.com\/wp-content\/pdf\/math\/geometry\/legomath2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lego Math 2<\/a> &nbsp;At a center, you can have students&nbsp;form questions to ask each other using the Legos. &nbsp;This page gives students space to create two of their own problems. &nbsp;They will then trade and have a partner solve the problem they created. &nbsp;If you have iPads or other tablets in your room, you can even have students take pictures of their creations.<\/p>\n<p>We think it is SO&nbsp;important to introduce this concept with manipulatives. &nbsp;The items we designed are to reinforce the idea once it has been taught. &nbsp;We found this great collection of hands-on activities from Scholastic. &nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scholastic.com\/teachers\/top-teaching\/2012\/12\/10-hands-strategies-teaching-area-and-perimeter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10 Hands-On Strategies for Teaching Area and Perimeter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We also love the idea of using music to help the formulas stick in students&rsquo; heads. &nbsp;Here are a few of our favorites:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D5jTP-q9TgI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Math Rocks! &nbsp;Perimeter &amp; Area<\/a> &nbsp; Perimeter &amp; area song on YouTube that explains how to find the perimeter and area of objects along with giving a few real world examples of when the skills are used. &nbsp;A little over 3 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Eqz6Z8pk-gs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Perimeter &amp; Area Rap<\/a> &nbsp;A class of students rapping to help your students learn the formulas. &nbsp;Not as clear as the first video because it&rsquo;s children rapping but it&rsquo;s catchy and we think your students will get into it. &nbsp;Maybe you can record your own version!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com\/originals\/7c\/ad\/02\/7cad0219d713e2387272c7f6674ea404.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Area, Perimeter &amp; Volume Songs<\/a> &nbsp;Teach students these songs to help them remember the formulas.<\/p>\n<p>Want another set of task cards to challenge your students?
