Description
Students will find the perimeter of polygons using given lengths and widths, find unknown sides (lengths) given a perimeter, and differentiate/explore the relationship between area and perimeter (3.MD.8). Use these scaffolded math worksheets to teach and reinforce the fundamentals of perimeter, or as test prep.
Each worksheet has a mini-lesson on perimeter and examples at the top to serve as an anchor, followed by several Common Core designed, simulated test questions (including multi-part and open response). Tips and scaffolding are included to guide students, allowing you more time to work with struggling students.
