This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and calculate the costs of fencing different animal enclosures in a zoo when using perimeter measurements that have been recorded in metres.

The class can explain and model how they can use formulas and number calculations to find the perimeters of different sized areas in a zoo that are suitable for a range of wild animals.

Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify and calculate the costs of fencing different animal enclosures in a zoo when using perimeter measurements that have been recorded in metres

Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to practise calculating and recording the costs of fencing different animal enclosures in a zoo when using perimeter measurements in whole metres for support ability levels and to one decimal place for core and extension ability levels.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to calculate the costs of fencing different animal enclosures in a zoo using perimeter measurements in metres.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to practise calculating the perimeters and areas of different places and buildings that can be found in a zoo when using formulas and number calculation skills. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
