Rhombus Rally and Parallelogram Parade

Worksheet Description

This math worksheet focuses on calculating the perimeter of parallelograms and rhombuses. Students are given various shapes with their side lengths provided and are tasked with determining the total perimeter. The worksheet includes a mix of straightforward perimeter calculations as well as more complex word problems to enhance problem-solving skills. This exercise aims to strengthen students’ understanding of geometric properties and their ability to apply formulas.

The primary math skill targeted by this worksheet is the calculation of perimeters for specific quadrilaterals, namely parallelograms and rhombuses. Students learn to sum up the lengths of all sides to find the perimeter, reinforcing their addition skills and familiarity with geometric shapes. Additionally, the worksheet challenges students to use problem-solving strategies for word problems, applying the perimeter formulas in practical contexts. This enhances their ability to work with mathematical concepts in real-world situations.
