Using Simple FormulaeProcedural concept
Check understanding
- Substitute values into P = 2(l + w) to find the perimeter of a rectangle
- Use the formula for area of a triangle (A = 1/2 × b × h) given base and height values
- Interpret a formula expressed in words and use it to compute an output
“If your child is told that the perimeter of a rectangle uses the formula perimeter = 2 × (length + width), can they plug in the measurements and work out the answer?”
