Math is FUN!!!!!

Learning about Perimeter can be fun! Last week we looked at measuring to find perimeter, calculating the perimeter of a rectangle and irregular polygons using standard units and using grids to find perimeter. That's when it got really interesting! My students each received a grid paper and were instructed to draw a mine-craft looking picture then calculate the perimeter of the shape/object drawn. The results were quite impressive. Here are some pictures:
