Vocabulary
Common Mistakes
- Confusing Area and Perimeter formulas
- Forgetting to double the sides for Perimeter
- Using wrong units (e.g., cm instead of sq cm for Area)

- Only classifying by one attribute.
- Forgetting to classify by both attributes.
Differentiation
Discussion Questions
- What is the difference between Area and Perimeter?

- Why do we use 'square' units for area?
- Can an equilateral triangle also be a right triangle?
- What is the difference between an acute and an obtuse triangle?
- How are isosceles and scalene triangles different?
- Why must every triangle have at least two acute angles?
Extension Activities
- Measure the classroom floor area.

- Create art using only rectangles of specific areas.
Parent Tip
Find triangles in your home and ask your child to name their type.
