Grade 4 - Measurement - Perimeter and Area Problems

In this video, we explore problem-solving strategies involving perimeter and area, building on concepts introduced in earlier grades. We start by comparing the area of a square and a rectangle with the same perimeter, demonstrating how to find missing dimensions and calculate area accurately. We then tackle a more complex composite figure, showing how to break it down into simpler shapes to calculate both area and perimeter.

The video emphasizes the importance of labeling units, visualizing the problem, and using strategic methods to solve these more advanced problems that your child might encounter.
