Good afternoon! So I was trying to reflect on math lessons i remembered that incorporated technology somehow. I remembered I helped in a fourth grade classroom my senior year of high school and one day as a treat at the end of the day, the teacher did a math lesson but she began it with watching an episode of a show called "Cyberchase" from PBSkids. The episode was where the characters had to beat this bad guy, Hacker, by winning a skating competition. The perimeter always had to be the same, but the shape of the course could be changed. The characters discovered that even if the perimeter stays the same, the area, or the space inside, changes. The episodes are available in little segments or full episodes on pbskids.org/cyberchase/videos/.
Here is the specific perimeter and area episode link:
