Perimeter Worksheets

On this webpage you will find our range of worksheets to help your child learn to work out the perimeter of a range of rectangles.

These sheets are graded from easiest to hardest, and each sheet comes complete with answers.

Using these sheets will help your child to:

• understand what perimeter is;
• know how to find the perimeter (and area) of a rectangle;
• know how to find the perimeter (and area) of rectilinear shapes;
• know how to find the perimeters of regular shapes;
• know how to work out the side length of a regular shape if we know the perimeter.

The aim of these challenges is to get children to apply their knowledge of area and perimeter to solve problems and look for patterns in their results.

Each problem needs to be identified as either an area problem or a perimeter problem and then solved..

The problems on the sheet are identical, but the measurements get progressively harder to do!

If you are feeling a little confused by the word 'perimeter' and want to go back to basics then try our beginners page on what does perimeter mean.

There is a step-by-step guide to what perimeter is and how to find the perimeter of some simples shapes through worked examples.

Here is our selection of free printable area worksheets for 3rd and 4th grade.

The sheets are all graded in order from easiest to hardest.

Using these sheets will help your child to:

• work out the areas of a range of rectangles;
• find the area of rectilinear shapes.

All the sheets in this section support Elementary Math Benchmarks.

Here is our selection of measurement worksheets for 3rd graders.

These sheets involve reading scales going up in halves, ones, fives, tens, fifties and hundreds to find the length, weight or liquid capacity.

Using these sheets will help children to consolidate their counting and place value as well as learning to read and estimate using a simple scale.

Here is a range of free geometry worksheets for 3rd graders.

Using these sheets will help your child to:

• recognize and identify a range of 2d and 3d shapes;
