MSS1/L1.8

MSS1/L1.8 Work out the perimeter of simple shapes, e.g. rectangle, equilateral triangle
(a) know that perimeter is the boundary of a shape
(b) know that perimeter is measured in units of length
(c) understand that measurements required to calculate the length of the perimeter depend on the shape

8 week fully mapped medium term plan / scheme of work for teaching perimeter, area and volume to learners preparing for Edexcel ALAN (adult literacy and numeracy) tests.

Lots of detail – including hyperlinks to online practice tests and DfES Skills for Life worksheets. Fully mapped and differentiated. With loads of lovely hands-on kinaesthetic ideas for covering these topics.
