This Year 4 Perimeter of a Rectangle Teaching PPT supports children in learning how to calculate the perimeter of rectangles by using the side lengths, rather than counting squares. Throughout the PPT, they will explore a range of different strategies to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle.

The content is organised into Let’s Learn sections, where key concepts and vocabulary are clearly modelled, and Let’s Practise sections, where pupils can immediately apply their learning through short, focused activities.

To deepen understanding, the PPT includes reasoning and problem-solving questions that encourage children to compare methods and explain their thinking.

The final slide provides links to additional resources to support this step – be sure to check them out!
