Includes a PowerPoint to teach the method for calculating perimeter of regular 2D shapes and compound shapes. Includes shapes for calculating perimeter (some including measures, some needing to be measured) & perimeter word problems. Differentiated 3 ways for both shapes and word problems. Alternative presentation of worksheets for shapes & word problems also included.

A set of 5 differentiated Worksheets for Area and Perimeter of simple and compound shapes. These differentiated worksheets cover Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 Curriculum Objectives for Mathematics, Ideal for classes with mixed ability.

perimeter worksheet (basic)

Designed for Year 4 but can be used in other year groups, three differentiated worksheets looking at perimeter. Features a mastery challenge where children need to create shapes with a given perimeter.

Area and perimeter functional skills activity. 2 floor plans are given with requests and costing. Pupils are to calculate the area and perimeter of each room and calculate the cost of tiling, carpeting, installing a fence, skirting etc. Differentiated activity: the first floor plan has squares to help by counting the boxes. The second floor plan just has measurements. SEN appropriate with clear bold writing and Comic Sans Font. Also in a word document for you to edit.

A complete lesson on perimeter, with a strong problem solving element. Incorporate a set of on-trend-minimally-different questions and several opportunities for pupils to generate their own questions. Also incorporates area elements, to deliberately challenge the misconception of confusing the two properties of area and perimeter. Activities included: Starter: A few basic perimeter questions, to check pupils know what perimeter is. Main: Pupils come up with a variety of shapes with the same perimeter, then discuss answers with partners. Designed to get pupils thinking about which answers could be different, and which must be the same. A slight variation for the next activity - pupils are given diagrams of pentominoes (ie same area) and work out their perimeters. Raises some interesting questions about when perimeter varies, and when it doesn’t. A third activity based on diagrams a bit like the cover image. Using shapes made from different arrangements of identical rectangles, pupils work out the perimeters of increasingly elaborate shapes, some of which can’t be done. Questions have been designed so that only slight alterations have been made from one diagram to the next, but the resulting perimeter calculations are varied, interesting and sometimes surprising (IMO!). Has the potential to be extended by pupils creating their own shapes and trying to work out when it is possible to calculate the perimeter. Plenary: A closer look at the impossible questions, using a couple of different methods. Printable worksheets and answers included, where appropriate. Please review if you buy as any feedback is appreciated!

This contains 1 PowerPoint which is colourful, engaging and interactive. Ideal for revision or whole lessons as it is well planned and in depth. PowerPoint 1 - Lesson on Perimeter. 32 colourful interactive slides. Lots of questions to assess understanding and check for misconception. Discussion points to make students understand and master the topic. Links made to real life. Tasks included and incorporated in the PowerPoint which can be printed. Worksheets - 2 Worksheets based on working out Perimeter. Enough for minimum of 2 Lessons about 100 Minutes worth of resources.

A complete lesson of more interesting problems involving perimeter. I guess they’re the kind of problems you might see in the Junior Maths Challenge. Includes opportunities for pupils to be creative and make their own questions. Activities included: Starter: A perimeter puzzle to get pupils thinking, where they make changes to shapes without effecting the perimeter. Main: A set of four perimeter problems (on one page) for pupils to work on in pairs, plus some related extension tasks that will keep the most able busy. A matching activity, where pupils match shapes with different shapes but the same perimeter, using logic. I would extend this task further by getting them to put each matching set in size order according to their areas, to address the misconception of confusing area and perimeter. Pupils are then prompted to design their own shapes where the perimeters are the same. Plenary: You could showcase some pupil designs but much better, use all of their answers to create a new matching puzzle. Printable worksheets and answers included. Please review if you buy as any feedback is appreciated!

Lesson begins with a starter and LO. Encourages discussions about 2D shapes, and working out the perimeter of a shape. Includes differentiated questions which then leads on to finding the missing lengths on the perimeter of a shape; again with differentiated questions. Concludes with Bloom's taxonomy styled questions. Please leave FEEDBACK and RATE. Cheers :)

This is a whole lesson looking at Forming and Solving Equations in different situations. The lesson looks at the entire range of questions and problems and comes with two excellent sets of questions. The first worksheet is easier, looking at questions that would be appropriate for the foundation tier also, involving problems with perimeters and angles. The second is far harder involving volume, surface area and other problems. This lesson is ready to go with no prep required and is great for home learning. 18 slide presentation + extra resources. The lesson comes with: + a starter + learning objectives (differentiated) + keywords (important as always) + Excellent teaching slides + lots of examples to follow + MWB activities (for AFL) + worksheets x2 (with answers) + plenary ALL LESSONS on Algebra in one MEGA BIG Bundle: Algebra: All Lessons LASTLY: This lesson is flat packed for copyright purposes Please provide a RATING with written feedback Please email outstandingresourceshelp@gmail.com if there are any issues.

This is a Powerpoint I created fo a low ability Yr4 Numeracy group. Worked well with them, and helped them to understand perimeter better :-)

This is a lesson that I used to teach my year 6 class about finding the perimeter of a rectangle and of composite shapes. The lesson starts off with a starter on finding the factors of a number. It then offers opportunities to discuss the meaning of perimeter and to model the method. Next, there are slides with differentiated practice questions for the class to do on their whiteboards. The answers are on the next slides so that you can quickly check their work. On the penultimate slide there is the Learning Objective and a challenge to complete once they’ve finished their work. Worksheets are differentiated for LAs, MAs and HAs. I have included the answers for worksheets too to make teacher marking easier or for you to give to your class to mark their own work!
