Perimeter Unit – Year 5
Perimeter Unit – Year 5
Perimeter Unit – Year 5 gives teachers a clear teaching-to-assessment sequence for exploring the distance around common, compound and grid-based shapes. Students add side lengths, reason about unknown lengths and solve practical perimeter problems involving gardens, fences, paths and classroom spaces.
The editable native PowerPoint presentation and 10-question quiz are supported by a colour classroom display, a board game, a school-garden design activity, six black-and-white worksheets, matching answer pages, an independent assessment and a five-level marking rubric. The mix of explicit teaching, hands-on application and print-friendly practice makes the unit suitable for whole-class lessons, group rotations, consolidation and assessment.
