L.O.2
To understand, measure and calculate the
perimeter of polygons.
To be able to express the formula for the
perimeter of a rectangle as “twice length,
twice breadth”.
Q. What is the correct mathematical term for finding the
distance around the outside edge of a 2-D shape?
Q. How would we calculate this distance?
Take and discuss answers.
Perimeter
Q .How can we calculate the perimeter of
this shape?
Q. When we calculate the perimeter of a rectangle
do we need to measure all the sides?
We can use the formula
twice the length plus twice the breadth
This is often written as
(2 x L) + (2 x B)
In your book draw a rectangle which has
two sides of 8cm. and two of 5cm.
Find the perimeter of your rectangle by using the
measurements of only TWO sides.
Complete this equation by filling in the numbers:
P=(2x )+(2x )
=
+
=
cm.
Q . Can you think of any shapes where
you would not need to measure every side
to calculate the perimeter.
Answers please!
A regular hexagon would be six times
the length of one side
- its formula is
6xL
• LOOK at Activity Sheet 9.2
Decide which shapes would need every side
measuring and which ones could have short
cuts.
Write the letter for each shape in your book and
next to it express the perimeter of that shape in
words and in letters where appropriate.
e.g. Perimeter Shape A : Measure every side
B : Short cut
REMEMBER
When calculating the perimeter of a rectangle
we do not have to measure all four sides, only
two. We can then use the formula
P = (2 x L) + (2 x B)
or, if we use lower case letters….
p = (2 x l) + (2 x b)
Calculate the perimeters of shapes D, E,
G and J.
Convert your answers to millimetres.
In each case write down the number of
sides you measured and show how you
worked out the perimeter.
By the end of the lesson children
should be able to:
Express the formula and calculate the
perimeter of a rectangle.
Day 4
L.O.1.
To be able to choose and use appropriate
number operations to solve problems
FOUR IN A ROW
Use Resource Sheet 9.2
Take turns with a partner to roll two 0 – 9 dice.
Any of the four number operations may be
applied to the numbers you roll e.g. if you roll a 6
and a 7 you could place counters on squares 42
( 6 x 7 ), 13 ( 6 + 7 ) and 1 (7 – 6 ).
The first person to get four in a row wins.
L.O.2
To understand, measure and calculate the
perimeter of rectangles and regular
polygons.
To be able to measure lines to the nearest
millimetre.
To be able to use, read and write standard
metric units of length, including their
abbreviations and relationships.

using straight edges. For each section the
farmer uses 30 m. of wire. What different
shapes could each of the sections be?
Show at least 5 different shapes. In each
case show how you used the 30 m. of
wiring.

Discuss in pairs.
One way to work out the answer is to use
the formula :
P=3xL

20cm.
20cm.
Q. What is the perimeter of this square?
Q. What is the area of this square?
If the side of a square is 20cm. :
Its perimeter is 80cm.
( 20cm. + 20cm.+ 20cm. + 20cm)

Q. What is the area of the rectangle?
Q. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
For the rectangle which has sides 20cm.
and 10cm. :
The area is L x B = 20cm. x 10cm.
= 200 square cm.
The perimeter is
2(L+B)
= 2 ( 20cm. + 10 cm.)
= 2 (30cm. )
= 60cm.
I have folded the rectangle in half.
10cm.

Its area is 10 cm. x 10 cm. = 100 square cm.
Its perimeter is 10cm. + 10cm. + 10cm. +10cm.
=40cm.
10cm.
20cm.
Q. What has happened to the area of the original square?

Q. What’s happened to the area / perimeter of the original
square?
Keep cutting out parts of the original square.
You must keep the cuts
PARALLEL
to the edges of the original shape.
