Students solve multi-step perimeter and area problems and compare shapes. Part A has four multiple-choice questions about a 9 × 4 cm rectangle area, an 8 × 5 m rectangle perimeter, and which same-perimeter rectangle has greater area. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank problems about a 7 m square area, a 6 × 3 cm perimeter, and a 10 × 5 ft garden area.
The comparison question challenges students to see that area and perimeter vary independently.
