This is one FUN GAME to practice area and perimeter! My students struggled switching back and forth between perimeter and area, which is why I created this game. Your students will be so much more engaged with this game than with area and perimeter worksheets! They will want to play it again and again.

This is the 4th Grade version. I also have a 3rd grade version of this product that uses smaller dimensions and has tiles printed in the rectangles.

Engage your students with a fun game that pits dragons against the kingdom's castles. The winner of each battle is determined by calculating the strength of the dragon in terms of the perimeter or area it can defeat, and the defensive strength of the castle according to its perimeter or area.
