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.
