Hi. Are all the shapes rectangles in the area and perimeter? Just asking because I teach third grade and we only teach area of rectangles. Thanks.
Hello! Yes, it's is just rectangles:-).
I purchased the math tile mega bundle awhile back, and my students LOVE them... A student pointed out that on Area & Perimeter, #4 - the middle row area should have a 3 in the ones place, not a 2. I checked the answer sheet and the length is 9, width is 7, which equals 63, not 62. Thanks!!
Uploading a corrected version right now! Should be ready in 10 minutes. Thanks for letting me know!!
