Finding the perimeter

In Maths, we are learning all about measurement.  At the moment we are learning about the perimeter of shapes.  We know that the perimeter of a shape is the shortest distance around the outside of a shape.  Today in class we used linking cubes to help us measure the perimeter of different shapes around the classroom.  We worked with a buddy, measuring carefully and then recording our ideas down in our books.  Lots of great co-operative learning and working together happening today in Team Tekau!  Ka pai.
