Check understanding
- Draw two rectangles with area 24 cm² but different perimeters
- Find two shapes with perimeter 20 cm but different areas
- Explain why a long thin rectangle and a square can have the same area but different perimeters
“If your child has 12 square tiles to arrange, can they make different-shaped rectangles and notice that the area stays the same (12 tiles) but the perimeters are all different?”
