Area and Perimeter- Real World Measurement









Fourth grade students worked together with the high school students today to find the perimeter and area of one of our largest flower bed spaces in the courtyard. Using tape measures, they worked in small groups to measure the area. They measured using inches and had to convert to feet.


We also had a reporter from the Kentucky Teacher publication visiting today while we were in working in the court yard. She was here to interview Ms. Braber about the Osprey web cam that fourth grade has been using to observe the Osprey birds living at Lake Barkley and came outside to see our project. The article will be published in May.
