Measurement Jeopardy

Perimeter

100

What does perimeter measure?

Perimeter measures the length around a shape.

200

Solve the perimeter of a rectangle with the length of 4cm and the width of 3cm.

P = 2(l) + 2(w) 

= 2(4) + 2(3) 

= 8 + 6 

= 14cm

300

Solve for the perimeter of a square with side length 9 units.

P = 4(S)

= 4(9)

= 36 units

Area

100

What does area measure? 

Area measures the space inside a shape, using unit squares. 

200

Solve the area of a square with the side length of 7m.

A = l x w

= 7 x 7 

= 49m²

300

Solve for the area of a triangle with a base of 6mm and a height of 3mm.

A = bxh/2

= 6x3/2

=9mm²

Formulas

100

The formula for area of a rectangle is A = l x w. True or False?

True!

200

The formula for area of a triangle is A=bxh/3. True or false?

False! It is A = bxh/2

300

Why is formula for perimeter of a square P=4(S)?

Because all of the sides are equal! 

Metric System

100

Mili - (gram, liter, meter) is the smallest unit of measurement. True or false?

True! Mili means one thousandth 

200

What is 10 meters (m) in centimetres (cm)?

1000 cm. Jump two bumps to the right because cm are smaller than m. 

300

Sally wants to know what is 53.7 mililiters converted to decilitres. Solve.

0.537 deciliters. Deciliters are 100 times bigger than mililiters. 

BONUS - HARD

400

Find the side length of a rectangle with a width of 4cm and an area of 28cm^2.

A= l x w 

28= l x 4

l=7
