Students begin by writing their words in the boxes. I remind them it's kind of like writing when in Kindergarten with the lined paper. Tall letters go up to the roof, and letters like p and q go downstairs tot he basement.
Students then must outline each word with a highlighter or marker. This is where many students make mistakes, so its important for them to go slowly. They outline only the boxes that have writing in them.
Then, they find the area and perimeter of each word. I have my students label each side for the perimeter then cross it off as they add them up..so they don't get confused.
