In this activity, students will first begin by exploring the area and perimeter. Tell your students to make a shape that has a specific area or perimeter and then give them time to explore and create. As you go, make the math challenges more difficult. When they have had a chance to explore, have them play the game. The challenge is to see how many levels they can complete. Keep in mind that the last level is unique in that students now have to create a shape with a specific area while creating a fraction of the shaded color like the second image below.
