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...

This set of resources exemplifies ways in which practical work can be used alongside a pedagogical approach known as argumentation. Argumentation is a core practice used by communities of research scientists, and it is through these activities that science knowledge is developed and agreed. Argumentation activities...
