Length and Perimeter Target Board 2

The 'Length and Perimeter Target Board 2' resource by KS2Gems is a versatile tool aimed at Year 3 students to bolster their mathematical skills in measuring, comparing, adding, and subtracting lengths in various units such as metres, centimetres, and millimetres. The objective of this exercise is to provide children with practical and engaging ways to enhance their understanding of length and perimeter through hands-on practice.

Target Boards serve as an effective method for rehearsing a wide array of maths skills during brief sessions, making them an excellent choice for starting or wrapping up lessons, and especially for retrieval practice. These boards can be displayed to the entire class or used within small groups, and when paired with whiteboards and pens, they create an interactive learning environment. The teacher can present various challenges to the class, such as finding two numbers on the board that are equivalent, thus catering to different abilities and allowing for simultaneous differentiated learning. This approach not only reinforces measurement concepts but also encourages critical thinking and problem-solving among students.
