Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Confusing perimeter with area: students multiply when they should add, or label area as feet instead of square feet, especially on rectangle problems with whole-number sides.
• Forgetting the 1/2 in the triangle area formula and reporting base times height as area, which doubles the correct answer for every triangle in composite shape problems.
• Mixing up volume and surface area on three-dimensional problems, such as computing V = lwh when a paint problem clearly requires the sum of six face areas instead.
