With this resource students will be able to demonstrate their mastery and understanding of measuring in both centimeters and meters. There are 20 sorting cards for students to place and group with the most appropriate measurement.

Area, Perimeter, Surface Area and Volume Jeopardy is a great way for your class to review your concepts and ideas about these topics. The categories covered in this game are Area, Perimeter, Surface area and Volume (just like the title suggests). I have included two versions, one for customary measurements the other for metric.
I typically put the class into small groups or individuals and ask a member of the group to choose a color and dollar amount. That is the question that they have to answer. When I get the class to do it individually I get them to put the answers down on a piece of paper and mark them at the end of the game.
NEW! I have now introduced a visual point scoring system to keep track of how much money the teams have earned. Simply click on the allocated game board and with each click the amount increases by $100
