Area and Perimeter Resource Bank
This resource bank consists of 19 activities exploring and investigating different area and perimeter. The activities include:
- Investigations using a tangram
- Measuring the areas of composite shapes made from rectangles and triangles
- Investigating the link between the dimensions of a...
Area Between Parabolas
Two parabolas are shown, one with a positive quadratic coefficient, the other with a negative quadratic coefficient. Each has the same linear coefficient and between the...
Area Builder
Area Builder gives students the opportunity to build any shape and explore the relationship between the area of a shape and the length of its perimeter. The “Game Screen” contains two kinds of challenges: Build a shape and Find the area. There are different levels of increasing difficulty. The teacher notes give...

This sub-collection of materials from the dy/dan collection contains three resources that bring mathematical storytelling to the classroom in the context of ‘area of a circle’. Resources comprise:
-
Act One: a video or photograph to provide a ‘hook’ to the problem
-
Act Two: further...
Area puzzles
The mathematical topics required to solve the puzzles are areas of triangles and rectangles. The shapes are combinations of triangles and rectangles, with some areas and some distances marked. The challenge is to calculate the missing dimensions. The puzzles were inspired by Naoki Inaba’s ‘area maze puzzles’. This...
Area, Perimeter and Volume
This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 9.
Area, perimeter and volume covers: a review of the names and shapes of common 2D shapes; areas of special shapes such as circle, triangle, parallelogram and composite shapes; the...
