Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on calculating the perimeter of various polygons, including triangles, rectangles, squares, and pentagons. Each exercise provides the lengths of the polygon’s sides, requiring students to add them together. The problems include both regular and irregular shapes, reinforcing the concept of perimeter calculation. It serves as a great introduction to understanding the sum of a shape’s outer boundaries.

Completing this worksheet enhances students’ ability to quickly compute perimeters and recognize different polygon types. It strengthens their addition skills and reinforces number sense, helping them understand how side lengths contribute to the overall shape. This practice is essential for real-world applications, such as measuring fences, walls, or any enclosed space. By solving these problems, students improve their mathematical reasoning and precision in calculations.
