Abstract

Understanding the relationship between perimeter and area can be an exciting exploration for students in grades 3 to 7. Square tiles offer an ideal hands-on method to discover and visualise these concepts intuitively. In this article, we share a set of practical activities involving square tiles. These activities help students explore the relationship between shape, area and perimeter, and learn to optimise shapes to minimise perimeter or maximise area.
