Comparing Areas and Perimeters (A) WORKSHEET
Comparing Areas and Perimeters (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This series of differentiated worksheets enables students to recognise that shapes with the same areas can have different perimeters and vice versa. This version uses pentominoes and asks students to find the perimeter of five of them discovering that there is an odd one out. Students will also make their own shapes using six squares on square grids to create shapes with the same area but different perimeters.
All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Math.
