6 lessons for year 6 pupils on area and perimeter (including one on volume).
area and perimeter of quadrilaterals
area and perimeter of compound shapes
area of triangles x 2
area of 2D shapes including parallelograms
volume of cuboids
This resource is on SMART notebook and have my notes on from previous years - this can easily be rubbed out but felt it worth leaving in, in case it helps understand the lesson.
My lessons are based on 80 minutes but could be altered to suit the length of your classes. It has a settling starter, learning objectives slide, a main starter, examples of the activity with notes to be copied into books, differentiated questions, an extra practice activity and a plenary
I created this for an observation and got really good feedback
These are the activities I have chosen for this lesson:
Settling starter – mathematical anagrams
Starter – naming shapes
Extra practice activity – area and perimeter of their initial (these are all made just to print)
Plenary – exit ticket
All my lessons are set up in a similar way to allow consistency when teaching. They are also all graded based on the new 1 – 9 grading system. Please leave feedback and if you find anything that needs to be changed let me know and I will inform you when it has been done so you can download the latest version.
Thank you please take a look at some of my other lessons
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 week’s worth of resources consisting of a PowerPoint and worksheets to teach a Upper KS2 class all about Area, Perimeter and Volume, with Minecraft as the theme as the pupils will be working for “Steve’s Swimming Pools”. The resources point the teacher towards using Minecraft Edu to help teach the lessons with the teacher being able to use as much or as little of Minecraft as they like. The final lesson is for children to show communication, collaboration and originality in building a range of swimming pools with different area, perimeter and volume!

The questions have been inspired and adapted from the White Rose Small Steps Guidance and Teaching for Mastery documents. This document is useful for teachers who have adapted Maths Mastery and need guidance in the approach or those who are looking for variation in fluency, reasoning and problem solving or simply those who don’t want to plan it themselves but want high quality resources and quality first teaching. =)
All of the documents that are uploaded as an Activinspire file are interactive and all of the concrete/pictorial manipulative can be used, moved and manipulated.
This document can be downloaded on Activinspire and it is also available as a PDF for those who do not have Activinspire.
Please note - these resources are not compatible with Smart Notebook and the PDF file is not interactive.
Thank you for taking the time to review my resources. =)
I hope this helps you with your teaching and if it does please could you be kind enough to leave some positive feedback. =)

Want to find a fun, cross-curricular way to teach perimeter and area? This lesson fuses together the history of the layout of Ancient Roman Villas with these key maths concepts.
After an informative input on Roman villas and a reminder on how to calculate the perimeter and area of both standard and rectilinear shapes, the children are challenged to design a Roman villa using both their topic and perimeter/ area learning.
There are suggestions for giving additional support to children who may require it, and challenge for those who need to be stretched.

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!
Our area and perimeter skills stack up!
Ideas for use:
whole class
center
station
early finishers
Fun Friday
I hope your students have fun practising their area and perimeter skills, and decorating the classroom at the same time.
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.
These questions are about using algebra to find missing side lengths etc. in rectangles, triangles and trapezium. They are around Grade C level but a couple require quite a bit of thought. I couldn't find enough of these in one other place hence writing these. I have used them with year 11s but they could also be used in year 9 or 10 depending on the set you are teaching. They get progessively harder.
