Calculating Perimeters Outside

Class 11 have been learning how to find and calculate the perimeter of 2D shapes this week. We then took this learning outside to the playground in our Maths lesson! In groups with meter sticks and trundle wheels, children worked out the perimeter of many objects including the shed, various benches and doors. Mathematical concepts were discussed such as working out one side of the hexagon bench and then multiplying it by 6 to further secure their understanding.
