Perimeter and Area

Cambridge Checkpoint Stage 3

Chapter 7: Perimeter and Area

In Stage 3, Chapter 7: Perimeter and Area, you will learn how to measure the distance around a shape (perimeter) and the space inside a shape (area). You will practise calculating the perimeter of squares, rectangles, and other simple shapes by adding the lengths of their sides.

You will also explore how to find the area of shapes by counting squares or using formulas. 

This chapter helps you apply measurement skills to real-life problems and understand the practical uses of perimeter and area in everyday situations.
