It's time to build with these hands-on area and perimeter activity mats. Your third and fourth graders will love using blocks to explore and compare area and perimeter in this construction-themed math center or classroom activity. Highly engaging, students will find the length and width of each shape using hands-on materials (one-inch math tiles, one-centimeter math cubes, or digital manipulatives) and compare the measurements.

Print and have students tile the quadrilaterals using math manipulatives in a small group or center-based learning activities. You can also easily assign this resource in Google Classroom for digital learning experiences that still allow students to manipulate blocks to explore area and perimeter.

Perfect for small group, whole group, center-based, or independent learning opportunities.

Encourage higher level thinking when you ask students to sort the squares and rectangles as those with the same areas but different perimeters, different areas but same perimeters, or the same area and perimeter.

Includes:

- 20 thinking mats with various rectangles (print and digital)

- Student response sheet

- Answer keys

- Compare and contrast Venn Diagram for deeper thinking and conceptual understanding with area and perimeter.
