Measure Perimeter Lesson
This Year 5 Measure Perimeter lesson covers the prior learning of finding the perimeter on a grid, before moving onto the main skill of measuring the perimeter of rectilinear shapes using a ruler.
The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning by completing an engaging extension task.
