Area and Perimeter

Different shapes have different equations for Area, but the perimeter is mostly measured the same way.

Perimeter is the distance around the 2D shape. You can measure it by adding up the legs of a shape.Go to Math Playground for a lesson on Perimter and Area

Area can be measured by the amount of space a 2D shape covers. Place the shape on the grid, and you can count how many squares it covers.
