Park and Field Perimeters

Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on calculating perimeters for spaces like gardens, sports fields, picnic areas, and ponds. Students must determine the total perimeter by summing the sides of different polygons, including trapezoids and hexagons. The exercises challenge students to apply perimeter concepts to real-life measurement situations. The problems encourage logical thinking and careful calculations, reinforcing the importance of accuracy in math.

Completing this worksheet improves students’ ability to work with different polygon types and recognize patterns in perimeter calculations. It also enhances problem-solving skills, as students must analyze and extract relevant numerical information from word problems. These exercises build a strong foundation for geometry and real-world applications, such as planning event spaces or estimating material needs. By mastering perimeter calculations, students develop a critical skill that is useful in many professions.
