This resource focuses on the concepts of combining polygons to create new shapes and calculating the perimeter of these shapes. Students will learn the definition of perimeter as the total distance around the outer side of a polygon. The material includes examples of how to combine shapes, such as joining two squares to form a rectangle, and how to calculate the perimeter by adding the lengths of all sides. Various activities are provided for students to practice identifying new shapes formed by combining polygons, as well as exercises to calculate the perimeters of different polygons, including triangles, rectangles, and irregular shapes.
