Area, Perimeter, and Fractions


My fourth grade students have been studying area and perimeter. I found an activity on Pinterest where students create themselves using square tiles. Once completed, they find the area and perimeter of their picture. They also found the fractional part of each color they used to create their picture. Three objectives in one activity!! Wow!!! The children absolutely loved this activity. 
As you will be able to see, they got very creative by adding personal things about themselves like eyeglasses, what type of shoes they were wearing(nike emblem), and hairstyles. The bulletin board turned out really cute!
