What's included?
Targeted Year 6 resources for exploring shapes with the same area (different perimeters), reinforcing the distinction between area and perimeter, a core KS2 Maths objective. Activities build deepening understanding and strong reasoning by requiring pupils to construct and compare shapes that share the same area but have varied boundary lengths. This crucial small step supports mastery of measure and is vital for national curriculum expectations. The CS Maths Scheme provides structured visual and construction tasks.
