Perimeter is the distance all around the edge of a shape. If we needed to build a fence all around our garden we would measure the perimeter of the garden.
So to find the perimeter of this rectangle we need add 7 cm + 7 cm + 3cm + 3 cm = 20 cm

What is the perimeter of these shapes?

Show me the calculation you used to work it out.

Challenge – can you use a multiplication fact to help you work out the perimeter of the triangle and the hexagon?


How could you use the cm squares to help you to work out the perimeter of these rectangles?

Challenge - can you draw some of your own shapes and find the perimeter of them?
