Shape Shifter Shenanigans

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students practice calculating the perimeter of parallelograms and rhombuses. Each problem provides the lengths of the sides of these shapes, and students must use these measurements to determine the total perimeter. The worksheet also includes word problems that require students to apply their knowledge of perimeter calculations in more practical contexts. This exercise aims to build students’ confidence in working with geometric figures and enhance their problem-solving abilities.

The primary math skill targeted in this worksheet is the calculation of the perimeter for parallelograms and rhombuses. Students will use the perimeter formulas for these shapes, which involve summing the lengths of all sides. This practice helps reinforce their understanding of geometric properties and the importance of precision in measurements. Additionally, by solving word problems, students will develop their ability to interpret real-world scenarios and apply mathematical concepts to find solutions, thereby enhancing their critical thinking and analytical skills.
