Lesson Three – Shape Perimeters
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to investigate and record a selection of rectilinear shapes that have the same matching perimeters but different areas using addition and multiplication calculation skills.
The class can identify and model how to work with a formula that can be used to make it easier and quicker to calculate the area of a rectangle shape.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to investigate and record a selection of rectilinear shapes that have the same matching perimeters but different areas using addition and multiplication calculation skills
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.
