Which calculations will calculate the perimeter of this rectangle? 5 cm 5 cm 2 cm 2 cm b) 5 + 2 + 5 + 2 a) 5 + 2 c) 7 2 d) 5 2
What is the perimeter of the rectangle? I think it s 52 cm I think it s 104 cm 5 cm 50 mm 2 cm You are both wrong. It is 7 cm You re all wrong. It is 14 cm Who is correct? Can you see what the others were thinking? Jack is correct. The perimeter is 14 cm.
Here is a rectangle with a perimeter of 16 cm 1 cm 1 cm 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 I wonder if every rectangle with a perimeter of 16 cm has 12 squares inside. Have a think
I wonder if every rectangle with a perimeter of 16 cm has 12 squares inside. 1 cm 1 cm 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 11 12 13 14 15 13 14 15 16
Have a think How many different rectangles can you draw with a perimeter of 18 cm? Which rectangle has the smallest number of squares inside? Which has the greatest number? What do you notice?
You cant draw a rectangle with an odd perimeter. 1 cm 3 cm 4 cm 7 cm 3 cm 3 cm 4 + 3 = 7 7 2 = 14 3 + 3 = 6 6 2 = 12 1 + 7 = 8 8 2 = 16 Is Tiny correct? Can you explain why? Have a think
You cant draw a rectangle with an odd perimeter. 4 1 2 cm 3 cm 4 1 2+ 3 + 4 1 2+ 3 = 15 I think I have found a way!
