How did you measure your line?

Did you use string?

 Did you draw on squared paper?

 Did you use a geoboard?

Would you be able to make the same shapes with a 10 cm line?

Can you think of some things that are the same length, width or height as your line? As two lines? As three lines?

Can you jump the length of your line? Can you jump further? How much further can you jump?

Can you use 10 cm lines to join together to make a metre measurer? Could you use 1 cm lines?

 

Which things are shorter or longer than your line?

Key Stage 2

If you have different shapes with a perimeter of 1 metre, will they all have the same area?

Is it always true that, ‘The longer the perimeter, the greater the area of a shape’?
