Create a simple perimeter and area worksheet for homework.

This learning resource focuses on the concepts of perimeter and area in geometry. It begins by defining perimeter as the total distance around the outside of a shape and provides a worked example for clarity. Students are encouraged to calculate the perimeter of specific shapes, reinforcing the concept through practice questions. The resource then introduces area as the amount of space inside a flat shape, demonstrating how to count squares within a shape to find its area. It includes practice opportunities for students to determine the area of various shapes and encourages creativity by allowing students to draw their own shapes. Additionally, a section differentiates between perimeter and area, using relatable analogies to enhance understanding.
