Perimeter means the distance around something. For example, if you want to find the perimeter of your home, start at one place on the outside of your home (for example the right side of the front doorway) and measure from that point all the way around your home until you get back to that place.
In geometry, we often find the perimeter of many shapes. To do this, find the distance around the outside of the shape from one starting point all the way around the shape until you get back to the same starting point.
