Area and perimeter

In this lesson, we will learn about the concept of a 'perimeter', and look at examples of how to calculate the perimeter of rectangular shapes using different units of measurement.

In this lesson, we will learn how to construct a variety of rectangles using a given perimeter and dotted paper.

In this lesson, we will learn to convert between metres and centimetres and then use this knowledge to calculate perimeter.

In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the perimeter of compound shapes.

In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the perimeter of composite shapes.

In this lesson, we will look at the difference between perimeter and area and we will investigate a strategy for calculating area.

In this lesson, we will look at the difference between perimeter and area and learn a multiplication strategy for calculating area.

In this lesson, we will estimate area and then apply a formula to calculate area.

In this lesson, we will calculate the area of rectangles in square metres and find missing lengths given the area.

In this lesson, we will investigate the relationship between area and perimeter and use this knowledge to solve area and perimeter problems. We will identify key similarities and differences between the two ideas.
