Grade 5 Area and Perimeter Concepts PowerPoint

Lesson Sequence

• Teach this presentation at the start of the Area and Perimeter topic, before students
• attempt the Practice Worksheet. Slide 8 (Guided Practice) and slide 11 (Independent
• Practice) are designed as pause points — stop and let students work with a partner or
• independently before revealing further slides or moving the class discussion forward.
• The final slide is a two-question exit ticket; collect student answers on paper or
• sticky notes as a quick check before moving into the worksheets in this collection.

Classroom Activities

• Think-Pair-Share on slide 10 (Where Do We Use This?): before showing the bullet points,
• ask students to think of their own example of somewhere in their home, school, or
• community where area or perimeter matters, discuss with a partner, then share with the
• class before you reveal the slide's examples.

Teacher Tips

When you reach the worked examples (slides 6 and 7), cover the final answer line and
ask students to predict it before you reveal it. This turns passive viewing into an
active thinking moment and gives you an immediate, informal check of understanding.

Learning Objectives

• Students will be able to define perimeter and area in their own words.
• Students will be able to state and apply the formulas for the perimeter and area of a rectangle.
• Students will be able to recognise a square as a rectangle with four equal sides and apply the simplified formulas.
• Students will be able to connect area and perimeter to real-life situations such as fencing, flooring, and building.

Differentiation

Support: Keep the vocabulary slide visible (or printed) throughout the lesson as a
reference. Pair students who need more support with a partner for both the guided and
independent practice slides rather than working alone.
On-Level: Students follow the presentation as designed, attempting the guided and
independent practice questions with a partner or independently.
Challenge: During independent practice, ask early finishers to write their own
similar question for a partner to solve, using different measurements.
