Area & Perimeter (Regular Shapes)

Overview:

This worksheet helps students calculate the perimeter and area of rectangles. Designed for students in years 5 and 6.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the length and width of a rectangle.
• Calculate the area using the formula: Area = length × width.
• Determine the perimeter by adding all four side lengths or using the formula: Perimeter = 2 × (length + width).
• Develop problem-solving skills through practical measurement tasks.

How the Activity Works:

Students are presented with a series of rectangles with given dimensions. They use the formulas to calculate the area and perimeter of each shape. Some questions may require students to find missing side lengths when given partial information, encouraging them to apply their understanding of measurement relationships. This activity provides essential practice in working with rectangles and strengthens their skills in calculating area and perimeter.
