Practice finding the perimeter of rectangles and squares.
Practice Finding the Perimeter of Different Shapes
Use this independent practice worksheet to support your perimeter lesson. Students will count the unit squares around the outside of each figure to determine the perimeter.
This worksheet includes ten questions spanning two pages.
An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!
Scaffolding & Extension Tips
In addition to independent student work time, use this worksheet as an activity for:
- Math center activity
- Lesson warm-up
- Lesson wrap-up
- Fast finishers
- Homework assignment
For fast finishers, students can use the answer from each question to draw a new shape with the same perimeter. Students can choose to draw shapes on grid paper or notebook paper.
Support students who need additional help by using the gradual release model. Show the student how to complete the first question. For the second question, encourage the student to find the perimeter independently. Provide support and guidance if needed. The remaining questions should be attempted without assistance.
