We have been making use of the good weather and tackling our struggles with measuring area and perimeter of rectilinear shapes (rectangles or shapes made from rectangles, like 'L' or 'U') There is also a lot of problem solving because not all of the measurements are provided.
I loved May's explanation that area was like 'if you had a garden, then area would be how much land I have'. Following that link then perimeter could be the fence or wall around the land.
