Finding out the difference between Perimeter and Area.


We have moved on to finding the perimeter of an object or shape. We found out the perimeter was the distance around the outside of an object or shape. The area is the space an object or shape takes up. To test our theories we surrounded and covered different objects and estimated (guessed) the perimeter and the area of each then measured them accurately using 2cm cubes.
Mrs Brierley came into school and helped us. Thank you Mrs Brierley!!!!
