After learning the concepts of | After learning the concepts of perimeter and area, it is easy for students to think that figures with larger perimeters would also have larger areas, and vice versa. This applet helps teachers to explore with students the variety of the perimeters of a figure formed by several congruent squares touching side by side. Together with the complementary applet [[Variety of areas with fixed perimeter]], teachers can clarify with students that a figure with a larger area may have a smaller perimeter, and areas and perimeters are two different concepts. | ||
