This SMILE resource contains three packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of area and perimeter, from calculating area by counting squares to finding the formula for the area of a trapezium.

Area and Perimeter pack one ...

This resource bank consists of 19 activities exploring and investigating different area and perimeter. The activities include: • Investigations using a tangram • Measuring the areas of composite shapes made from rectangles and triangles • Investigating the link between the dimensions of a rectangle and the size of...

This collection contains resources from the website 1001mathproblems.com by Sian Zelbo. Areas and perimeters are presented in different contexts such as puzzles and games. In addition, there are several problems that require spatial reasoning. There are often several different ways to tackle the puzzles. The...

This sub-collection of materials from the dy/dan collection contains three resources that bring mathematical storytelling to the classroom in the context of ‘area of a circle’. Resources comprise:

• Act One: a video or photograph to provide a ‘hook’ to the problem

• Act Two: further...

The mathematical topics required to solve the puzzles are areas of triangles and rectangles. The shapes are combinations of triangles and rectangles, with some areas and some distances marked. The challenge is to calculate the missing dimensions. The puzzles were inspired by Naoki Inaba’s ‘area maze puzzles’. This...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 9.

Area, perimeter and volume covers: a review of the names and shapes of common 2D shapes; areas of special shapes such as circle, triangle, parallelogram and composite shapes; the...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 7. This resource covers: area of shapes drawn on a grid, area and perimeter of a square area and perimeter of a rectangle, area of compound shapes and area of a triangle. The initial file...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of arithmetic, many of which are suitable for students studying mathematics at Higher Level GCSE, or A Level, as well as those students for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course. Some of the topics covered include, decimals, fractions,...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of arithmetic. They include fractions and their associated arithmetic, geometric progressions, percentages, ratios and powers and roots.

Comprehensive notes, with clear descriptions, for each resource are provided, together with relevant diagrams and...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of arithmetic, often used in the field of engineering. They include fractions and their associated arithmetic, calculations involving surds, using standard form, as well as understanding and drawing the graph of a function.

Comprehensive notes, with...

This resource contains eight activities for use in the classroom.

Self descriptive numbers: 'Four' is a self descriptive number as the word four contains 4 letters. This is the only number for which this is the case. However if 22 is represented as 17+1+4 then this written in words takes 22...

This series of interactive excel sheets look at arithmetic series and progressions.

The first sheet gives examples of arithmetic sequences, of which the value of a further term in the sequence, the first term and the...

This resource looks at arithmetic sequences. The first puzzle involves three intersecting lines with circles marked. The challenge is to create arithmetic sequences that will fit each line. The second challenge is harder since there are four lines and more intersections. The resource is suitable for Key Stage 3...

This resource features four short tasks that involve simplifying expressions.

The topics covered include expanding polynomials, using the remainder theorem, and identifying the zeros of a cubic.

This task resource is from the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service, a collaboration between UC Berkeley...
