Perimeter is the distance around the outside of a shape (measured in units like cm, ft). Area is the amount of space inside a shape (measured in square units like cm², ft²). Think: perimeter = fence around a yard, area = grass inside the yard.
Perimeter is introduced in Grade 3 with adding side lengths. Area of rectangles (length × width) comes in Grade 3-4. Area of triangles, parallelograms, and composite shapes is covered in Grade 5-6.
