Math Magic Time!

How Do We Find Perimeter?

First comes one side, then comes another,
Add them together, like counting your brother!
Keep going round, don’t skip or delay,
The sum you get is the perimeter, hooray!

Here’s how we do it:

1. Pick any shape (like a square, rectangle, or triangle).
2. Measure each side carefully.
3. Add up all the sides—that’s the magic number!

Let’s Try Together!

Imagine a rectangle that has these sides:
One side is 4 steps long, and the next is 6 steps wide.
To find the perimeter, let’s add them with cheer:
4 + 6 + 4 + 6 = 20 steps—ta-da, it’s clear!

So, the perimeter of this rectangle is 20 steps. 👏

Tips for Superhero Parents 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

• Use real-life objects: Walk around tables, rugs, or even your backyard to show kids what “perimeter” means in action.
• Make it fun: Use toys, blocks, or chalk drawings outside to create shapes and measure their perimeters.
• Repeat & Reinforce: Sing songs or make rhymes about adding sides—it sticks better when it’s catchy!
