D695 WGU Task 1 Feedback: Perimeter & Area Concepts for
Students
D695 Task 1
A:
Student: Emily Brinkerhoff
Emily, I have noticed you are working hard on solving math
problems related to perimeter and Area, and I would like to help
you strengthen your understanding.
For perimeter, you added 8 + 5 to get 13 and stopped there.
Remember, a rectangle has two lengths and two widths, so you
need to add all four sides together:
8 + 5 + 8 + 5 = 26 feet.
I gave her a helpful tip of “Try to draw the rectangle and label
each side so you can count all four.”
For Area, I saw you tried multiplying and then adding two
different answers. The formula for Area is length × width, which
means multiply the two numbers once:
6 × 4 = 24 square feet.
You do not need to multiply each number separately or add
multiple products. A good way to remember this is: Perimeter =
the sum of all sides, Area = the product of length and width.
You're on the right track, keep practicing those formulas and try
using a diagram to guide your process!
A1: Emily
Justification:
This feedback effectively meets Emily's needs by directly
addressing her misunderstandings of both mathematical
concepts, specifically adding only two sides for perimeter and
using an incorrect multi-step method for Area. It uses clear, age-
appropriate language and provides specific correction strategies
(like drawing diagrams and remembering simple formulas). The
feedback is actionable, encouraging her to visualize shapes and
apply standard procedures consistently.
