Frequent exposure to the concepts of area and perimeter helps students develop an understanding of the measurement process. A solid foundation in area and perimeter is necessary for students to succeed with the concepts of volume and surface area.
The ability to measure is a life skill. We measure area and/or perimeter when we lay carpet, paint a wall, put baseboard around a room, wallpaper a room, build a fence, and so on. Measurement is pervasive in our lives and it is important that students not only learn the formulas, but understand how they are developed and why they work.
