Perimeter WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 7, Year 8
GCSE Tier: Foundation
Targeting grades: 1-3
Prerequisite knowledge: Metric measures and conversions. Addition of integers and decimals.
Learning Objective: Calculate and solve problems involving perimeters of 2-D shapes.

Perimeter WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

The worksheet focuses on perimeter calculations, structured into three distinct sections to build understanding and problem-solving skills.

In Section A, students are asked to calculate the perimeters of a range of shapes, including regular polygons, using given lengths. This section reinforces their ability to apply standard formulas and work with different units of measurement, such as centimeters and millimeters.

Section B tasks students with determining the value of missing lengths of shapes based on their given perimeters.

Section C introduces challenges through a range of problem solving questions. Students explore different rectangles with the same perimeter, calculating with different metric units, working with compound shapes, and forming and solving equations involving perimeter and side length.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.
