Here's another fun activity and display from Molly, fourth grade teacher and creator of ! In the same vein as her , this display provides an opportunity for her students to demonstrate/apply their learning as well as personalize the classroom a bit!

Area & Perimeter Robots

Providing her kiddos with grid paper and size specifications, Molly tasked her students with the job of designing a robot to meet the specifications called for! This activity not only encourages problem solving and critical thinking skills, but it also is a phenomenal way to assess your students' grasp of the concepts! And, since students get a bit of creative license when decorating their robots, it's also a great way to engage their imagination!

Here are a few close-ups of the robots!

Area & Perimeter Robots

• Background: Solid green background paper. You might also consider a fun lightly patterned gift wrap or fabric!
• Title: "Area & Perimeter Robots!". Nothing like calling it what it is! Of course, if you can think of a fun/witty title, that would work too!
• Border: Complimentary solid color/patterned border or robots themed trimmer.
• Decoration: Use your kiddos' robot projects! Perhaps, you might consider creating small gear cutouts and use them to label the projects with each student's name.
