A worksheet originally created for a low ability year 7 set, but could be used for key stage 2 pupils learning about area and perimeter for the first time.
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 introduction to calculating the perimeter and area of different shapes. One worksheet shows the cm squares inside the shapes and one worksheet asks the students to work out the missing lengths before calculating the perimeter and area.
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.

Area and Perimeter: A Real Life Project
This area and perimeter project gets children applying and using their mathematical skills and knowledge in a real life situation.
During this project students are provided with a house plan and a customer brief about how to decorate the house. Students need to fulfil the clients requirements. To do this they will need to calculate area and perimeter, choose items to buy from the catalogue and multiply and add values of money.
These projects are designed to show students how we use maths in the real world. Students love to reading the client letter and working to meet the brief - just like an interior designer would.
Included in the pack
-Student Calculation Pages
-3 house plans (HA,MA, LA)
-3 catalogues (HA, MA, LA)
-1 customer letter (editable)
Please note this resource includes both US and UK catalogues, you can choose the best one for your needs.
