Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated worksheets to select and record examples of rectilinear shapes with the same matching perimeters but different areas when calculated using formulae for addition and multiplication number skills.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore examples of rectilinear shapes with the same matching perimeters but different sized areas.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to develop and refine skills in measuring and calculating the areas and perimeters of different geometric shapes including rectilinear and compound shapes. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
