Area and Perimeter Review with Texas Missions Activity

Activity Overview:

I love teaching math (and writing), and I know that my students get more engaged in assignments and activities when I make the content relevant to the real world. I also know that it is hard to teach all subjects with fidelity during a school day without some cross-curricular activities. This set of review questions are all related to Texas Missions that are part of the 4th grade Social Students TEKS (in Texas). Your students will have a chance to put what they’ve learned regarding area and perimeter to use in these real-world questions. I did make up the numbers, but the missions are real, and I included a QR code to learn more about each mission. My students enjoyed this activity when we did it in class, and it was a great tie in to a field trip that our grade level took, which is what inspired me to create this activity.

In the classroom, I used this activity as a review at the end of the place value chapter, but I can also see using it as a test prep review of place value closer to the STAAR testing. Whenever you use this, your students are sure to have a great time and learn something new!

I know you all will enjoy this as much as my fourth graders and I did!
