[quote=Anonymous]When I'm explaining this to kids, I tell them imagine that they're fencing in a field for their animals. Each side of a square takes one piece of fence. How many pieces do they need. We often imagine a patterned fence and color in the sides in alternating colors (e.g. one block red, and one block blue) so they can see more clearly how many blocks are on each side. Sometimes, I tell them to think of it as a phence to remember that P is for the fence. Area is the number of animals you can fit inside (A for Animals), if each animal needs one square.[/quote]
