Exploring Area and Perimeter Concepts

The video tutorial for third graders covers the concepts of area and perimeter. It begins with an introduction to these concepts, explaining that area measures the inside of a shape while perimeter measures the outside. The tutorial provides methods for calculating area by multiplying length and width, and for calculating perimeter by adding all sides. Several examples are given to illustrate these calculations, followed by practice problems to reinforce learning. The video emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between area and perimeter calculations.
