Next, the letters are traced in marker and colored in with either crayons, colored pencils, or markers. Tape Squares or Rectangle Shapes on the Floor. You can use masking tape or painter's tape for this activity. You'll want to measure these carefully as you create them, so the answer is clear no fourths or halves for example, unless your students are ready for this. You'll also want to make a key as you go. Do make sure to add either a number or letter to each shape, so kids can keep track of them when recording answers.
After explaining the activity, making sure to model an example for them, it's time to get started. I would suggest putting kids in pairs to work on this activity with clipboards, record sheets even binder paper works for this , and pencils.
When kids are done, early finishers might make a page in their math notebooks with the perimeter and area of real objects in their desks pencil box, book, notebook An enrichment idea for early finishers is to give the area and perimeter of a mystery object in the classroom. Kids can measure different objects in the classroom to try to find that mystery object! You could have the whole class do the same thing for example, all create people or you could make it a wide-open assignment.
The idea is that kids use graph paper and design an object using squares and half squares if your kids are ready. Kids figure out the area and the perimeter of the shape and then color the squares in the object. Besides being a great learning activity, these are also fun to display on a bulletin board! This is similar to the object activity, but a little more advanced.

All you need for this activity is graph paper, rulers, pencils, and colored pencils or crayons to add some color. Play the Land Grab Game. This game is easily played with graph paper, a pair of dice, and two different colored crayons or colored pencils.
Kids play in pairs. The first person rolls the dice. One dice is the length and the other is the width it doesn't matter which one is which for this game. Players take turns until the time is up or there is no more room on the page. Players then add their areas I would suggest a calculator if time is limited and the person with the greatest area wins.
