Success Criteria for Perimeter and area in Year 6Hi, my brain has become useless after a week of very taxing children. Just trying to plan my maths. What would you write for a process success crieria for finding the area and perimeter of a shape?Regards Chris |

Perimeter: perhaps
Find the length of each side Add the lengths together Area: Split the shape into rectangles Find the area of each rectangle using the formula A=lxw Add the areas together This is assuming you're doing compound shapes and not triangles or parallelograms etc. |

Or use my knowledge of 2d shapes to help with perimeter questions. |

I can use the formula to work out the perimeter of squares and rectangles. I can use the forumla to work out the area of squares and rectangles. I can work out the area and perimeter of “L” shapes by splitting into rectangles. I can calculate missing dimensions on compound shapes and work out area and perimeter. |

Some perimeter answers are found by calculating, but others require accurate measuring. |
