Perimeter of Other Shapes Resources

On Education.com, parents and teachers can find a variety of materials, including worksheets, printable activities, and lesson plans, to help students learn about the perimeter of polygons and irregular shapes. These resources provide practice with calculating perimeters for triangles, rectangles, pentagons, and other polygons using formulas or by adding all side lengths. Engaging exercises and hands-on activities are designed to build students’ confidence, strengthen measurement skills, and enhance their understanding of geometric concepts.

Perimeter refers to the total distance around a shape, calculated by adding together the lengths of all sides. Instructions and examples on these pages guide students in applying formulas to regular shapes or counting units around irregular figures, making math concepts accessible and enjoyable. Worksheets often include shapes with labelled sides, real-world examples, and challenges that encourage critical thinking.

Educators and parents can use these resources at home or in the classroom to reinforce geometry principles, support early math development, and create interactive, educational experiences. By practicing perimeter measurements across a variety of shapes, students build foundational skills that contribute to broader understanding in mathematics and geometry.
