Looking for an exciting and fun way to teach your students about area and perimeter? Look no further than our "Build a Park" project-based learning activity! Your students will love working together to design and build their own park while learning valuable math skills along the way. Get ready to watch your students' creativity soar with this engaging activity!
Do You Find Your Students:
-
Can’t apply area and perimeter in real world situations
-
Aren’t engaged in learning the area and perimeter formulas because they don’t make the connection of the formula to the shapes.
Do you find yourself lacking time to teach the concept doesn’t lead to mastery of area and perimeter?
"Build a Park" Project-Based Learning Activity can help address these challenges by providing an engaging, hands-on experience that helps students understand the concepts of area and perimeter better.
My Story
I saw this understanding almost immediately when students had to prove the area and perimeter of their park attractions. They realized that by applying formulas, they could avoid the counting and save time. Soon, they were using the formulas naturally to create park attractions! The biggest win was when an ESE student could apply the formulas and successfully created her own park!
The Reality
Students who don’t apply Area and Perimeter Formulas will lack strong foundational skills in math, making it harder to learn more advanced math concepts. Every teacher also knows that they will struggle with this basic concept for years to come until it moves into mastery level!
The Answer
Our "Build a Park" project-based learning activity can help students learn area and perimeter formulas while making the process fun and engaging.

Don't Take Our Word for it...
"Build a Park" Area and Perimeter Project provides a hands-on and engaging way for students to learn about area and perimeter. By working on a real-world project, students can see how these mathematical concepts apply to their own lives and gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
The project-based learning (PBL) approach helps students develop important critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They will have to come up with their own ideas and strategies to design their park, which can be a fun and rewarding experience.
'Build a Park" Area and Perimeter Project includes a detailed teacher's guide and rubric, making it easy for educators to implement in their classrooms. It's a great resource for both new and experienced teachers who want to provide their students with a fun and meaningful learning experience.
