Project 8 : Understanding Area and Perimeter This project will help you understand how the perimeter and area of different shapes change when formed using the same length of wire. You will explore the properties of a circle, square, and rectangle and compare their areas while keeping the perimeter constant. Objective: To compare the perimeter and area of different 2D shapes made from the same length of wire (1 meter), and understand which shapes maximize area. Materials Required: • 1-meter long flexible wire or string ( You may use different length of the string) • Ruler or measuring tape • Compass and geometry tools • Calculator (optional) • Chart paper or math notebook for presentation • Pencil, eraser, and colored pens Instructions: 1. Take a 1-meter long wire and bend it into the shape of a **circle**. - Use the formula for circumference: C = 2πr to calculate the radius. - Measure and record the radius. - Calculate t...
Each project is research-based, encouraging students to move beyond surface learning. Designed to ignite curiosity, foster independent thinking, and stimulate creativity, these tasks help reinforce academic concepts while nurturing 21st-century skills like critical thinking and problem-solving. From exploring scientific ideas and historical events to identifying mathematical patterns and interpreting literature, these projects make learning both relevant and enjoyable.
