Hello Parents! 

This week's math standards will be:

M3N3b:  Understand the concept of perimeter as being the boundary of a simple geometric figure.

M3A1b:  Describe and explain a quantitative relationship represented by a formula (such as the perimeter of a geometric figure)

M3M4b:  Model (by tiling) the area of a simple geometric figure using square unites (square inch, square foot, etc)

M3M4c:  Determine the area of squares and rectangles by counting, adding, and multiplying with models.

This week we will begin AREA and PERIMETER. 

We will learn that the distance around a figure is called its PERIMETER. 

We will also learn that the number of square units needed to cover a flat surface is called the AREA. 

Your child will need to understand the following formulas:

Area = length x width

Perimeter = length + width + length + width
