First we need to find he length of each side by

counting the squares.

8 cm

The distance
around the outside
6 cm 6 cm of a shape is called
the perimeter.

8 cm

The perimeter of the shape is 8 + 6 + 8 + 6 = 28cm.

What is the perimeter

of each of these
22cm shapes? Your teacher
18cm will give you copy of
the worksheet.

 Now find the
perimeter of these
shapes. They are
not drawn to scale.

To find out how much shape is inside we can
count the squares.

The area of a
shape is the
amount of space
inside it.

The area of the shape is 18cm2.

This is an irregular
shape. This
means that the
sides aren’t
straight. To find the area of
an irregular shape
you first count the
full squares inside it.
 You then count all the
other squares which
have more than half
the area covered.

The area of the shape is 60cm2.

The rectangle is made of 6 rows of 8 squares.

To work out the number of squares

we times 6 by 8.

Counting each square

can take a long time.
Does anyone know a
quicker way?

The area of the shape is 48cm2.

without the grid.
