Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is perimeter? How do you find the perimeter of an area? What is area? How do you find the area of a rectangle

After the Game

How did you calculate the missing value from the perimeter using the side lengths that you did know? What is the difference between perimeter and area? How did you find the perimeter of a complex figure? How did you find the area of a complex figure?
