Area, perimeter and volume practice

Area by counting squares, area and perimeter of rectangles and L-shapes, triangles and polygons on grids, and volume by counting cubes.

Area by counting squares

Grade 2

Practise finding area by counting the 1 cm squares in a shape. A new shape every time, with a narrated solution video.

Area and perimeter of a square

Grade 3

Find the area and perimeter of a square drawn on a centimetre grid. A new size every time, with a narrated solution video.

Area and perimeter of a rectangle

Grade 3

Find the area and perimeter of a rectangle drawn on a centimetre grid. New lengths every time, with a narrated solution video.

Area with half squares

Grade 3

Practise finding area on a grid when the shape includes half squares: two halves make a whole. A new shape every time, with a solution video.

Area of an L-shape

Grade 3

Practise the area of compound shapes: split an L-shape into two rectangles, find each area, then the total. New shapes every time, with a video.

Perimeter of an L-shape

Grade 3

Practise perimeter of compound shapes: work out the two missing sides of an L-shaped garden, then find the perimeter. With a solution video.

Draw a rectangle with a given area and perimeter

Grade 3

Practise area and perimeter by drawing rectangles on a grid: area 36 and perimeter 26, or the same area with a different shape. With a video.

Missing side of a rectangle

Grade 4

Practise finding a rectangle's missing length or breadth from its perimeter or area. New sizes every time, with a narrated solution video.

Rectangle sides from a ratio

Grade 4

Practise finding a rectangle's length and breadth when they're in a ratio like 6 : 4 and the area is known. A new rectangle every time, with a video.

Area of a right triangle

Grade 4

Practise the area of a right-angled triangle drawn on a grid: half the base times the height. A new triangle every time, with a solution video.

Area of an isosceles triangle

Grade 4

Practise the area of an isosceles triangle drawn on a grid: half the base times the height. A new triangle every time, with a solution video.

Area of a scalene triangle

Grade 4

Practise the area of a scalene triangle on a grid, using half base times height or the surrounding rectangle. With a narrated solution video.

Area of an irregular polygon

Grade 5

Practise finding the area of an irregular polygon drawn on a grid by splitting it into rectangles and triangles. With a narrated solution video.

Missing triangle in a square

Grade 5

A point inside a square is joined to its corners, making four triangles. Find the missing area. New numbers every time, with a narrated video.

Volume by counting cubes

Grade 5

Practise volume by counting unit cubes in a 3D solid, including the ones you can't see. A new solid every time.
