This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders an overview of perimeter.

In this activity students will collaborate as a team to build a virtual commnuity garden on Google Jamboard.  Individually students will need to demonstrate how area and perimeter are caculated after making a model of a garden plot using square units.  

In this assessment lesson, students review key information about perimeter before participating in a variety of assessment activities. Using this assessment, teachers are able to assess student understanding of measuring the perimeter of polygons.

Students will have to solve the real world problem of locker smell leakage by building an air filter that will cover the vents on the top of a locker. This project goes well with a curriculum on the particle nature of gases and phase changes.
