4th Grade Perimeter in Pages
I had two fourth grade classes who needed a way to practice perimeter and area (SOL 4.13) using the computer, so I used the table feature in Pages to create a grid. Then the students clicked individual squares or highlighted several at once and filled them in with different colors to create polygons. Next they wrote their own perimeter and area questions for each shape and gave them to a friend to solve. That way they got double practice—answering their friend’s questions and checking their own. It also gave me the opportunity to review word processing skills like changing the fonts and colors of text. The students’ projects turned out great and they got to review math concepts in a new way.
