Perimeter of Rectilinear Shapes WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade
CCSS: 6.G.A.1
CCSS Description: Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Perimeter of Rectilinear Shapes WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet builds fluency in finding the perimeter of rectilinear shapes, progressing from simple composite figures to more challenging reasoning problems.
Section A introduces learners to the perimeter using shapes drawn on square grids, supporting visual understanding and straightforward counting of side lengths.
Section B then develops accuracy with given measurements, requiring students to calculate perimeters directly.
In Section C, the focus shifts to working out missing side lengths, encouraging systematic use of properties of rectilinear shapes.
Section D consolidates these skills with more varied examples, while Section E extends thinking to problem-solving tasks where pupils must explain their reasoning, deal with incomplete information, and apply algebraic expressions in perimeter problems.
This structured progression helps students strengthen both calculation and logical reasoning, making the resource suitable for practice, consolidation, and stretch.
