Calculating Perimeter of 2D Shapes

By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

  1. Understand the concept of perimeter as the total distance around a shape.
  2. Identify and measure the sides of different shapes to calculate their perimeter.
  3. Use addition to find the sum of the lengths of all sides of a shape to determine its perimeter.
  4. Apply the concept of perimeter to solve real-life and mathematical problems.

Curriculum Alignment: Year 3 Measurement:

  • Measure the perimeter of simple 2-D shapes.
