MATH TO TRY TOGETHER

Help your child find the distance around a rectangle

Walk around an 8 by 3 rectangle: 8 + 3 + 8 + 3 = 22.

Try it with your child

Draw a rectangle with side lengths 8 and 3 and trace a full lap around its edge. Add each side: 8 + 3 + 8 + 3 = 22. Ask your child why all four sides must be counted.
