Aprenderás a
- Find areas by counting unit squares and by multiplying length by width, and compute perimeters.
- Show that shapes with the same perimeter can have different areas, and vice versa.
- Measure and draw angles in degrees, and classify triangles and quadrilaterals by their sides and angles.
- Find the volume of a rectangular box by counting unit cubes.
Definición
- Area is the amount of surface a shape covers, measured in square units.
- Perimeter is the total length of the boundary of a shape.
- An angle is the amount of turn between two rays from a common point; a full turn is 360°.
Teorema
- The area of a rectangle is length × width.
- The angles of a triangle in the plane add up to 180°.
- The volume of a rectangular box is length × width × height.
Errores frecuentes
- Confusing area with perimeter.
- Thinking an angle gets bigger when its arms are drawn longer.
- Believing that shapes with equal perimeters must have equal areas.

Descubrimientos opcionales
- Measure theory and integration Which sets of points have an area at all? Measure theory answers this; with the axiom of choice, some sets cannot be given a countably additive area that is unchanged by sliding them.
