Amusement Park Enclosure Game
A great game to help students consolidate their understanding of perimeter. Students place the shape cards face down and when each player picks one up, they must calculate the perimeter and place their counter on the corresponding answer. A great game to use during Mathematics rotations!

Learning goals
- We are learning to calculate perimeter and area of rectangles using familiar metric units.
- We are learning to solve practical problems involving the perimeter and area of regular and irregular shapes using appropriate metric units.
- We are learning to compare the perimeter and area of shapes, counting appropriate formal and informal units.
