Area Perimeter Explorer
Create your own shapes with blocks and explore the relationship between perimeter and area. A useful teaching tool for demonstrating irregular shapes.
Area and Perimeter
A teaching tool for demonstrating area and perimeter on an interactive whiteboard. Drag out rectangles to show different examples.
Area and Perimeter of Rectangles
A teaching tool to help the understanding of area and perimeter of rectangles. Both area and perimeter can be shown or hidden. The resource works well on an interactive whiteboard.
Interactive Teaching Program on Area
This interactive teaching tool can be used in a variety of mathematical contexts such as multiplication arrays, finding different shapes with the same area, nets and more. It is useful because there are different backgrounds such as dots.
Area Builder
A fabulous teaching aid and learning game site on areas, perimeter and fractions of shapes. You can toggle between one or two display areas which is useful if you want to compare different shapes.
Area and Volume
A BBC Bitesize resource with 5 learner guides and 7 class video clips on how to work out an area, what is the perimeter and what is a volume. It also shows how to calculate a volume using an equation.
Measuring Area
An animation from the BBC covering the concept of area, and different ways to measure and calculate the area of rectangles, triangles and composite shapes.
High Rise
Calculate the perimeter of rectangles and squares.
Finding the Area of Compound Shapes
A good site on finding the area of a shape based on rectangles on a grid. Estimate first and then compare with the actual area of the shape. Good as an IWB demo tool for teaching how to apply the formula to compound shapes based on rectangles.
Multiples and Factors
A multiple choice game with two game modes. In the first you need to identify the Lowest Common Multiple and in the second the Highest Common Factor. Questions increase in difficulty depending on accuracy
