 MATHEMATICS 

SECOND TERM

WEEK 4/PRIMARY 6

WEEK 6/PRIMARY 5

TOPIC: Perimeter 

LEARNING AREA 

1. Lesson One – Introduction to perimeter
2. Lesson Two – Perimeter of rectangle
3. Lesson Three –  Perimeter of compound shapes
4. Lesson Four – Quantitative Reasoning

TIME – 40 Minutes each.

LEARNING OUTCOME 

By the end of the lesson, the pupils should be able to:

1. Reviewing work done on perimeters of plane shapes.
2. Identifying rectangles that have same area but different perimeters.
3. Finding the perimeters of compound shapes.

RATIONALE

Perimeter is a distance round a shape. Perimeter means the sum of lengths of all the sides of a plane shape – triangles, other quadrilaterals and higher polygons = sum of lengths of all sides. It can be used to calculate the length of fence surrounding a building or garden. Two shapes may have the same perimeter, but different areas or may have the same area, but different perimeters.

The concept of perimeter will enable pupils to understand the different between areas and perimeter and appreciate the use of perimeter within and around us.

2. Rectangle is a 4 sided shape. 2 opposite sides are equal.
3. It is a rectangle.

LEARNING POINT – Previous knowledge and lesson

Step 2 – Development (5 minutes)

TEACHER’S ACTIVITIES 

1. Groups the pupils into four groups – A, B, C, and D.
2. Guide the pupils to choose a leader and secretary for your group.
3. Gives each group learning materials.

PUPIL’S ACTIVITIES 

1. Belong to a group.
2. Choose their leader and secretary.
3. Received learning materials for their group.

LEARNING POINT – Pupil’s group, leader and secretary confirmed.

Step 3 – DEVELOPMENT (10 minutes)

TEACHER’S ACTIVITIES 

• Guides pupils to arrive at the formula – P = 2(l + b).

1. Rectangle has how many sides?
2. What is the name of each side?

• Leads pupils to:

1. Add the 2 length and 2 breaths together.
2. The result is the formula for perimeter. That’s P = 2(L + B).

PUPIL’S ACTIVITIES 

1. Rectangle has 4 sides.
2. Rectangle has 2 Lengths and 2 breaths.
3. 2 lengths + 2 breaths = 2L + 2B
4. Perimeter (P) = 2(L + B)

LEARNING POINT – Formula of a perimeter

Step 4 – Development (10 minutes)

TEACHER’S ACTIVITIES

Guides the pupils to find the perimeter of:

        

 

 

 

 

 

PUPIL’S ACTIVITIES 

Working

1. Length = 14 cm and breath = 4cm

P = 2(L + B) = 2(14 + 4) cm

= 2(18) cm = 2 x 18 cm

= 36 cm

2. Length = 12 cm and breath = 32 cm

P = 2(L + B) = 2(12 + 32) cm

= 2(36) cm = 2 x 36 cm = 72 cm.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES – Perimeter of rectangle

Find the perimeter of the following rectangles whose dimensions are given below:

1. Length 18 cm and breath 11 cm.
2. Length 7 cm and breath 19 cm.

1. P = 2(L + B) = 2 (18 + 11) cm

P = 2(39) cm

P = 2 x 29 cm

P = 58 cm.

2. P = 2(7 + 19) cm

P = 2 (26) cm

P = 2 x 26 cm

P = 52 cm
