Students begin by writing their words in the boxes. It's kind of like writing when in Kindergarten with the lined paper. Tall letters go up to the roof, and letters like p and q go downstairs to the basement.
Students then must outline each word with a highlighter or marker. This is where many students make mistakes, so its important for them to go slowly. They outline only the boxes that have writing in them.
Then, they find the area and perimeter of each word. Students need to label each side for the perimeter then cross it off as they add them up so they don't get confused.
Students will have a special sheet to record their information.
