Area and Perimeter of Rectangles : Video Mini Lesson 3rd 4th 5th Grades

Your 4th grade math students will love learning with this video! This “I Solve You Solve” area and perimeter of rectangles math video mini lesson will help your students gain a better understanding of the following standard: ccss 4.MD.A.3 - Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in mathematical problems. 

I made this to use with my 4th graders, but if you have advanced 3rd graders or 5th graders that need a review, this might work for them too. Just know that the measurements students will multiply do include two digits x two digits, which will be challenging for third graders unless they have already learned multiplying with area models.

NOTE: If you are trying to share this on your stream with your kids in Google Classroom, you may find it easier to save the .mp4 to your Google Drive and then upload it straight from your drive. Uploading from your drive is given as an option. The longer the video, the longer it will take to upload. Once it is in your google drive though, it is really fast to share with students.

What is presented in the video?

The definitions of area and perimeter are presented. Step by step directions, along with visuals and narration, in order to show how to find the area and perimeter of a rectangle with the following measurements: length 32 inches x width 15 inches. NOTE: when showing how to multiply to find the area, an area model is used to multiply the two numbers. Standard algorithm is not used. After watching how to solve for area and perimeter, students are asked to help Sally find the area and perimeter of two rectangles. Both the area and perimeter use two-digit numbers.
