Student activity

This KS3-4 area and perimeter activity comprises a set of loop cards for students to match up 2D shapes with either their area or perimeter, given in centimetres or centimetres squared. They will have to decide which, and so will need to calculate both area and perimeter for each shape they can. For some shapes, such as the regular pentagon, it will not be possible for KS3 students to calculate area and so it should be clear that the perimeter is required in this case.

A presentation is also provided to introduce the activity to the class. Students could work individually, in pairs or as a whole class.
