Quick preparation

• recognise ways of measuring and approximating the perimeter and area of shapes and enclosed spaces, using appropriate formal and informal units
• recognising that perimeter is the sum of the lengths that form the boundary of a shape or enclosed space; choosing suitable units from a range of…
• creating a range of rectangles representing “paddocks” on grid paper and establishing different methods of working out the length of the boundary…
