Design Your Very Own Backyard-Area, Perimeter, Percent
Students are asked to design a back yard using various items described in the lesson. Students are to use a ruler and calculate the area and perimeter of each item placed in the backyard while also calculating the percentage of the backyard that the object takes up. Can be done individually or in groups. A fun and engaging way to help students see the importance and relevance of math, particuarly perimeter, area and percent. My students LOVE this activity! I have used it in my 6th and 7th grade
