Perimeter - Worksheet

The "Measuring Perimeters Worksheet" is an educational resource designed to help students practice calculating the perimeter of various shapes. The worksheet provides a series of shapes labelled A to D, and students are tasked with measuring the perimeter of each, recording their answers in centimeters. This exercise helps reinforce the concept of perimeter as the total distance around the edges of a two-dimensional shape. The worksheet is suitable for use in a classroom setting or for individual practice to develop skills in geometry and measurement.

Additional worksheets in this series include creative challenges such as drawing shapes with specific perimeters, such as rectangles and squares, and even an irregular hexagon. Students are also encouraged to experiment with composite rectilinear shapes to achieve a given perimeter, using graph paper as a tool for accuracy. Another worksheet focuses on calculating perimeters in more complex scenarios, including finding the perimeter of shaded areas in a pattern of hexagons and determining missing lengths in various shapes when the total perimeter is known. These activities aim to deepen students' understanding of perimeters and enhance their problem-solving abilities in mathematics.
