Use this Year 5 Perimeter of Rectangles Varied Fluency resource to give your class the chance to recap what they know about measuring the perimeter of a rectilinear shape before moving on to exploring efficient ways to calculate the perimeter.

The three fluency questions provide them with the opportunity to review their measuring and drawing skills using a ruler before moving on to calculating the length of a shape given its perimeter. Each question has two similar parts to promote fluency and there is an answer sheet to help busy teachers and students who may be marking their own work.

A fluency matrix worksheet and a reasoning and problem solving resource are also available for this small step.
