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.
An exciting and fully-interactive way (including lifelines) to revise and assess understanding of perimeter, area and volume.
There are 15 questions, testing children’s knowledge of:
- Units (cm, cm squared, cm cubed)
- Perimeter and area of triangles.
- Formulas to find the area of quadrilaterals such as squares, rectangles, parallelograms and trapeziums.
- How to calculate a missing dimension when given the area/volume.
…and more!

Looking for a fun, hands-on activity to practise area and perimeter this Christmas? Then, your students will enjoy colouring and cutting out presents, calculating their area and perimeter, and then stacking them to make a display for the wall.
What’s included?
Three recording sheets (square units, centimeters and inches)
Recording sheet for children that need more of a challenge
Two size options - to give you some idea of the tallest possible height, the smaller size option would reach an approximate height of 57cm/22.5in. The larger size option would reach an approximate height of 1m/3ft.
Presents with grids for square units (area only) and presents with measurements (area and perimeter)
I’ve also included two display phrases to choose from:
We’ve got area and perimeter all wrapped up!

All kids would love to design their dream bedroom or dream treehouse, so these area and perimeter practice activities will spark their imagination and creativity! Plus, they’ll get plenty of practice at applying concepts of perimeter and area.
There are two different design options – a dream bedroom and a dream treehouse, so you can choose one or the other, or use both. Each design comes with options for perimeter, area, or perimeter and area. Measurements include centimetres and inches, and area also includes square units.
Students choose the items they’d like to add to their dream bedroom or treehouse, draw them on the grid, then measure and record the area and/or perimeter.
Recording sheets are included but these are optional as children can easily write their answers in their workbooks if you prefer.
Just print and go!

Differentiated worksheet for KS2 Geometry, Area and Perimeter.
Suitable for individuals or pairs.
Lower abilities have all the measurements they need so can focus on separating the compound shapes, and calculating areas. Middle and Higher abilities have some missing measures that require the student to find before they can calculate the area.
Great to be laminated and added to any morning activity box for children to use before lessons.
This resource is aimed at:
Year 5 and Year 6 students in upper key stage 2
The worksheet moves through fluency questions and into reasoning:
6 fluency questions on finding the area and perimeter of rectangles
A further 4 fluency questions on finding the area and perimeter of squares when given only one dimension
3 reasoning challenges
The worksheet is available in:
locked PDF form
