Using food to make math applications is one of my favorite things to do! It gives a memorable and tangible connection to a topic! If we can't play with our food in real life, this is the next best thing! This is a great activity to incorporate after Area and Perimeter have been taught. You can easily see who understands the difference between area and perimeter and which of these they may need more support on.

This interactive digital activity includes:

-a mini-lesson on finding perimeter

-a mini lesson on finding area

-Two interactive activities.

• In the first one, students determine the various perimeter and areas of different shapes made with cheez-its. (There are editable text boxes to record their answers.)
• In the second activity, students move digital cheez-its to create their own shapes. They then can find the area and perimeter of the shapes that they created.

-Key for activity #1

This can be assigned via google classroom. Make sure to create a copy for each student when assigning.
