Solving Problems with Two UnknownsDrawing and Analyzing PolygonsCalculating Area of RectanglesComparing and Measuring AnglesWorked example video showing how to calculate the perimeter and area of a L-shape shape with missing lengths. Gets the brain working on filling in blanks and linking mathematical concepts together!
Questions 6 and 7 are interactive questions which are perfect practice for decomposing shapes to answer problems with missing variables.
The later questions in thies worksheet, from question 4 onwards, get students to think creatively about the properties of shapes and decomposing them to find the answers to word problems.
Interactive worksheet with exercises at the end helping students to understand how to calculate the perimeter of compound shapes.
Blank 1cm squared paper to print if needed :)
The questions on the 'apply' section of this worksheet are great at testing students' ability to draw shapes on squared paper given a set of instructions. For example, 3 different rectangles with an area of 12cm squared.
Printable worksheet with questions that describe the properties of a shape and students then need to draw that shape.
