Area of a Rectangle
A good way of thinking about the perimeter of a shape in front of you is to imagine that you are very small and standing on one of the corners of the shape. Imagine walking along the sides of the shape until you get back to where you started. The distance you have walked will be the perimeter.

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, there are several different ways, you can use the one you prefer:
Find the perimeter of the rectangle below.
We will work the perimeter out using the 3 different ways above:
The aim of these challenges is to get children to apply their knowledge of area and perimeter to solve problems and look for patterns in their results.
Each problem needs to be identified as either an area problem or a perimeter problem and then solved..
The problems on the sheet are identical, but the measurements get progressively harder to do!
These sheets are designed for kids from 3rd to 5th grade.
These sheets involve working out the area of rectilinear shapes.
A rectilinear shape is a shape made out of rectangles.
Find the perimeter by adding up the side lengths (you many need to work some of them out first!)
Find the area by working out the areas of the rectangles and adding them up!
These sheets are suitable for 4th and 5th graders.
There is a support video to help you solve these problems underneath the sheets.
