Perimeter, Area and Volume Worksheet + Answers (KS2 - Year 6)

A double-sided PDF worksheet with questions and answers on Perimeter, Area and Volume. The worksheet has preparation questions for the student to complete before the topic is taught and topic questions to complete afterwards. Also included is a full marking grid so students have a gap-analysis of what they understand and what they need to improve.
Suitable for Year 6 Students.
The download includes the Questions PDF and the Answers PDF.

Strands included:

5M7a measure and calculate the perimeter of composite rectilinear shapes in centimetres and metres
5M7b calculate and compare the area of rectangles (including squares), and including using standard units, square centimetres (cm2) and square metres (m2) and estimate the area of irregular shapes
5M9b use all four operations to solve problems involving measure [e.g. length] using decimal notation, including scaling
5M8 estimate volume [e.g. using 1cm3 blocks to build cuboids (including cubes)] and capacity [e.g. using water]
6M7a recognise that shapes with the same areas can have different perimeters and vice versa
6M7b calculate the area of parallelograms and triangles
6M7c recognise when it is possible to use the formulae for the area of shapes
6M8a calculate, estimate and compare volume of cubes and cuboids using standard units, including centimetre cubed (cm3) and cubic metres (m3), and extending to other units [e.g. mm3 and km3 ]
6M8b recognise when it is possible to use the formulae for the volume of shapes
