Area and Perimeter
Count the squares, add up the sides, multiply length by width, find a missing side or draw a shape of a given area.
Area and perimeter from counting to calculating. Shapes on a centimetre grid printed at true size (or on plain squares) to count for area and walk round for perimeter; rectangles and L-shapes with their sides labelled, for A = l × w and adding the sides; missing sides from a given perimeter or area; part-tiled rectangles that turn counting into multiplying; and a blank grid on which to draw a shape with a given area or perimeter. Units in cm, m, inches, feet or plain squares.
