Year 5 – Area and Perimeter

Hello Year 5,

 

We have been marking some of your maths work today and a few of us have gotten confused with area and perimeter.

To calculate perimeter, you add up all the sides of a shape. To calculate the area of a rectangle (today’s task!) you multiply each side by itself.

Make sure that you have calculated the area of the rectangles in today’s task!
