Measuring Perimeter and Area

Area of a Parallelogram,
pages 216-220
Area and Perimeter - describe patterns and generalize the
relationships by determining the areas and perimeters of quadrilaterals
and the areas and circumferences of circles.
Area of a Parallelogram -A gsp file to help you visualize how the area
of a parallelogram can be calculated without learning a new formula.
Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles -This gsp file shows the
relationships between the areas of parallelograms and triangles, with
rectangles, and leads students to understanding the formulae.
