 First we need to find the length of each side by
counting the squares.
( Each box stands for 1 cm)

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

8 cm

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

20 cm perimeter of each
of these shapes?

 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.

 12cm2

What is the area
of each of these
shapes?

26cm2
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.

What is the area of

each of these
shapes?

35cm2

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.

We can work out the area of a rectangle
without the grid.

Area = length x width

rectangles.

 LET US SOLVE THE
FOLLOWING PROBLEM….
FAMILY A FAMILY B
Now look at those same two pools. Which family
has more side panels of the pool to clean?
The perimeter of Family A’s pool is 12 units long.
The perimeter of Family B’s pool is 14 units long.

Therefore, Family B has more side

panels of the pool to clean.

Family A

Family B
The area of Family A’s pool is? 8 square units.
The area of Family B’s pool is? 7 square units

Therefore, Family A has the pool with

the bigger swimming area.
