This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on finding the perimeter of a rectangle. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem to find the rectangle's length and width. Then, they substitute the rectangle's length and width into the perimeter formula and compute the perimeter. Finally, they label the answer with the correct unit of measurement. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This measurement and data lesson requires students to solve problems by applying the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students are taught the formulas for area and perimeter and then are given word problems and diagrams and asked to find the perimeter and/or area. Students are also required to read a word problem and determine whether they need to solve for area or perimeter based on the given information.
