My poem/wrap about area

Each person in our class had to write a poem/wrap about area and/or perimeter. I chose area so I hope you like it.
To find the area of a triangle, all you have to do is........go base times height ya that's really all you have to do but wait........there's more........then you have to divide it, ya you got it, divide it, because........a triangle is half........half of what? a rectangle........you got it half of a rectangle........then what? well that's all you see.

Area and Perimeter

This is the difference between area and perimeter. Well area, you have to do base times height, or length times height. Another way to do it is if you have graph paper. If you have graph paper, you would have to find all of the whole squares add them up, and then add put the smaller pieces together which would make a whole square. There is also I more thing that you have to remember. You have to remember to put cm2. The 2 is for squared. Now for perimeter. Perimeter is the distance around the shape or object. So all you have to do is add up all of the sides. I don't have any tricks or ways that help me so to bad.
