The distance around the
outside of a shape is called the perimeter.

The perimeter of the shape is 8 + 6 + 8 + 6 = 28cm.
First we need to find he length of each side by counting the squares.
What is the perimeter of each of these
shapes? Your teacher will give you copy of
the worksheet.

The area of a shape is the
amount of space inside it.
The area of the shape is 18cm2.
To find out how much shape is inside we cancount the squares.
What is the area of each of these
shapes? Your teacher will give you copy of
the worksheet.

To find the area ofan irregular shape you first count the full squares inside
it.
This is an irregular shape. This
means that the sides aren’t
straight.
You then count all the other squares which have more than half the area
covered.
The area of the shape is 60cm2.
What is the area of each of these
shapes? Your teacher will give you copy of
the worksheet.

Counting each square can take a long time. Does anyone know a quicker way?
The area of the shape is 48cm2.
The rectangle is made of 6 rows of 8 squares.
To work out the number of squareswe times 6 by 8.
What is the area of each of these
shapes? Your teacher will give you copy of

We can work out the area of a rectanglewithout the grid.

A shape that is made from other shapes is known as a composite
shape.
To find the area of this shape we
have to split it up into two
rectangles.
