Support understanding of how to find area and perimeter of rectangles and other rectilinear shapes by using this resource.

This Year 6 Area and Perimeter Varied Fluency worksheet reinforces prior learning about how to calculate area and perimeter of rectilinear shapes, ready to build on in the following small steps. Children will use formulae to calculate the area and perimeter of rectangles, then find the area and perimeter of compound rectilinear shapes. Finally, they will identify a rectilinear shape with an equal area and perimeter. All answers are also included so that marking is as easy as possible!

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


Curriculum Objectives

  • Recognise that shapes with the same areas can have different perimeters and vice versa
  • Recognise when it is possible to use formulae for the area of shapes
