Length and Perimeter Target Board 1

The KS2Gems Target Board is an engaging and versatile tool designed to help Year 3 students improve their understanding of measuring, comparing, adding, and subtracting lengths in various units such as metres (m), centimetres (cm), and millimetres (mm). The objective of this resource is to provide a dynamic platform for students to practice and consolidate their maths skills through short, focused sessions. Ideal for initiating or wrapping up a lesson, these target boards can be used for whole-class teaching or small group work, promoting active participation as students use whiteboards and pens to interact with the displayed board.

Each Target Board presents a series of numbers representing lengths in different units, and students are tasked with performing calculations or finding numbers that satisfy given criteria. For instance, a teacher may instruct the class to identify two numbers on the board that add up to more than 75cm. This method not only stimulates mathematical thinking but also allows for differentiated challenges, as groups can be given varying instructions tailored to their learning levels. The numbers on the boards range widely, offering opportunities to work with simple and complex lengths, encouraging students to apply their knowledge in a fun and practical way.
