Expected Questions to support calculating the perimeter of regular polygons, triangles and rectangles using cm or mm, where not all the lengths are given.
Greater Depth Questions to support calculating the perimeter of regular and irregular polygons where some conversions between mm and cm used, where not all the lengths are given.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Follow the clues to draw the shape where the shapes are regular polygons using cm.
Expected Follow the clues to draw the shape where the shapes are regular polygons, using cm or mm.
Greater Depth Follow the clues to draw the shape where the shapes are regular or irregular polygons and may require conversions between cm and mm.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain whether the statement is true or false where side lengths are measured in cm. Statements refer to repeated addition to calculate perimeter.
Expected Explain whether the statement is true or false where side lengths are measured in cm or mm. Statements refer to multiplying to calculate perimeter.
Greater Depth Explain whether the statement is true or false. Statements require conversions between cm and mm.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Find the similarities and differences between two shapes and their perimeters using regular polygons with side lengths in cm.
Expected Find the similarities and differences between two shapes and their perimeters using regular polygons with side lengths in cm or mm.
Greater Depth Find the similarities and differences between two shapes and their perimeters using irregular polygons with side lengths that need conversions between cm and mm.
