TOPIC – PERIMETER 

LEARNING AREA 

1. Introduction

2. Perimeter of a Triangle

3. Perimeter of a Square

4. Perimeter of a Rectangle

5. Lesson Evaluation and Weekly Assessment (Test)

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES 

By the end of the lesson, most pupils should have attained the following objectives –

1. define perimeter.

2. find perimeters of regular figures in metres and centimeters by measurement.

3. identify perimeter of regular shapes in their environments.

4. realize that perimeter is the total distance round a particular shape.

RATIONALE

Perimeter is the distance round a particular shape. The perimeter of a rectangle or square is to add all the four sides. The concept of perimeter will enable the pupils to understand and appreciate the distance around a particular shape or object.

ENTRY BEHAVIOUR

The pupils can add four (4) numbers together.

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

The teacher will teach the lesson with the aid of cut-outs of squares, rectangle, triangles and teacher’s table.

METHOD OF TEACHING

Choose a suitable and appropriate methods for the lessons.

Note – Irrespective of choosing methods of teaching, always introduce an activities that will arouse pupil’s interest or lead them to the lessons.

LESSON 2 – PERIMETER

ACTIVITY 1 – INTRODUCTION 

Perimeter is the sum of all the length of a shape.

For examples,

 

Perimeter = 12 m + 5 m + 9 m = 26 m

 

ACTIVITY 2 – PERIMETER OF TRIANGLE 

A triangle is any shape with three lines or sides.

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all the lengths.

To find the perimeter, add length of its three sides.

Working Example 

 

The Perimeter is 11 cm + 8 cm + 13 cm = 32 cm

Working Example 2 

Measure and find the perimeter,

Teacher guides pupils to measure and record each length to find the perimeter.

ACTIVITY 3 – WORKING EXERCISE 

Measure and find the perimeter,

LESSON 3 – PERIMETER OF SQUARES AND RECTANGLES

ACTIVITY 1 – SQUARE AND RECTANGLE

Square and rectangle are any shape with four lengths.

Square has 4 equal length while rectangle has 2 equal opposite lengths.

ACTIVITY 2 – PERIMETER OF SQUARES 

Find the perimeter of,

 

Perimeter is 5 cm + 5 cm + 5 cm + 5 cm = 25 cm.

ACTIVITY 3 – PERIMETER OF RECTANGLES 

Find the perimeter of,

Perimeter is 7 cm + 12 cm + 7 cm + 12 cm = 38 cm.

ACTIVITY 4 – PERIMETER OF SQUARES AND RECTANGLES 

Teacher guides pupils to measure, record and find the perimeter of the following:

ACTIVITY 5 – WORKING EXERCISE

Find the perimeter of the following:

LESSON 4 – OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES 

Teacher guides pupils out to measure, record and find the perimeter of the school’s building using non standard and standard tools.
