Exploring Area and Perimeter Concepts for Grade 3

The video tutorial introduces third graders to the concepts of perimeter and area. It begins with an explanation of perimeter, including how to calculate it by adding the lengths of all sides of a polygon. The teacher provides examples and practice problems to reinforce learning. The tutorial then transitions to the concept of area, explaining how to calculate it by multiplying length and width. Again, examples and practice problems are provided to help students understand and apply the concept. The video encourages students to pause and try problems on their own, with answers available for self-checking.

What is the first step in calculating the perimeter of a polygon?

• Multiply the length by the width

• Divide the total length by the number of sides

• Count the number of sides
