Length, Perimeter, and Area oh my!

Our first grader's have been acting like mathematicians this week by studying units of measurement. They have been working with their partners to find the length, perimeter, and area of their feet!!!

The students paired up to trace their partner's shoe in their math journal. Then each student used square tiles to measure the length, or how long, the perimeter, or how many around, and the area, how many in the middle. You will see a problem like this on this week's math homework. Instead of tiles, students will use pennies to measure their shoe. What else could you measure at home?
