Math in the Garden: Perimeter Word Problems

You don’t need a green thumb to solve these garden-themed perimeter problems! In this worksheet, third graders will practice calculating the perimeter of squares and rectangles. Each problem provides learners with the side lengths, and students must find the total perimeter. 

This worksheet will challenge students to solve real-life problems involving perimeter. Students can reinforce what they know about the perimeter of squares and rectangles while learning how these concepts can be applied outside of the classroom. These problems can prepare students to solve more complex perimeter word problems, such as finding missing side lengths.
