Maths: length and perimeter

Tuesday 22 April 2025

Hello!

I hope you had a restful and enjoyable 2 weeks off and are ready for our final term!

This week in Maths, we’re learning about length and perimeter…

We’ve been measuring in metres, centimetres and millimetres and have measured things like our heights and the length of objects in our trays.

Here are our R2s for measuring with a ruler:

  1. Decide if you are measuring with centimetres or millimetres.
  2. Line the first measuring line on the ruler up to the line or object that you are measuring.
  3. Make sure the ruler is running parallel to the line or object.
  4. Take your time!

These tips have helped us be successful with this learning! Help at home by discussing these 5 questions…

Next up is perimeter.

The perimeter is the distance around the outside of a 2D shape.

Check back here to see how we get on with measuring the perimeter!
