#perimeter #math #song
A fun song I wrote for my math students to introduce the concept of perimeter the length around an object. Hope you enjoy!

LYRICS:

Perimeter,
That’s the sound,
Perimeter,
The length around!
Perimeter,
That’s the sound,
Perimeter,
The length around!

Perimeter tells us,
The whole length around,
It measures the outside,
The walls or the ground,
Perimeter measure,
That’s what we say,
When we measure the outside at night or at day!

Perimeter,
That’s the sound,
Perimeter,
The length around!
Perimeter,
That’s the sound,
Perimeter,
The length around!

My dog and I walked around the back yard,
It wasn’t very far, and it wasn’t very hard! 
There were 4 sides, 
123 4
We measured them quick!
20 + 10 + 20 + 10,

We used tape measure and yardstick!
20 + 10 + 20 + 10,
That’s 60 yards, 
Let’s walk it again!
20 + 10 + 20 + 10,
Perimeter 60
A fact you can’t hide,
Perimeter measures around the outside!

Perimeter,
That’s the sound,
Perimeter,
The length around!
Perimeter,
That’s the sound,
Perimeter,
The length around!

Perimeter tells us how far around
It won’t show the area, or height off the ground
Like the length of a fence,
Whether short or immense,
Perimeter measures how far around..

Perimeter,
That’s the sound,
Perimeter,
The length around!
Perimeter,
That’s the sound,
Perimeter,
The length around!
