Exploring Area and Perimeter of 2D Shapes

The video tutorial covers a new unit on measurement, focusing on area, surface area, and volume. It reviews formulas learned from third to seventh grade, emphasizing the use of calculators. The teacher explains the difference between area and perimeter using relatable examples, such as fences and grass in a backyard. The tutorial includes detailed instructions on calculating the perimeter and area of rectangles and triangles, and understanding the concepts of radius and diameter in circles. The session concludes with a review of basic area and perimeter concepts, preparing students for an assignment.

What is the primary difference between area and perimeter as explained in the video?

• Area is measured in cubic units, while perimeter in square units

• Area is the boundary, while perimeter is the space inside

• There is no difference

• Area is the space inside, while perimeter is the boundary
