Measurement tools and shapes illustration

📐 Part 1: Perimeter and Area Challenge

1. A rectangular garden has a length of 8 metres and width of 5 metres. Calculate the perimeter and area.

Perimeter = _________ metres

Area = _________ square metres

2. Which formula is correct for calculating the area of a triangle?

Area = base × height

Area = ½ × base × height

Area = 2 × base × height

Area = base + height

3. A composite shape is made of a rectangle (6m × 4m) joined to a triangle (base 6m, height 3m). What is the total area?

Total area = _________ square metres

📦 Part 2: Volume Calculations

4. A rectangular prism has dimensions: length 7cm, width 4cm, height 3cm. Calculate its volume.

Volume = length × width × height

Volume = _____ × _____ × _____ = _________ cubic centimetres

5. Which units are appropriate for measuring volume? (Check all that apply)

cubic metres (m³)

square centimetres (cm²)

cubic centimetres (cm³)

metres (m)

litres (L)

6. A triangular prism has a triangular base with area 12 cm² and a length of 8 cm. What is its volume?

Volume of triangular prism = Area of base × length

Volume = _________ cubic centimetres

🔧 Part 3: Measurement Tools and Units

7. Match each measurement task with the most appropriate tool:
1. Measuring a classroom length
2. Measuring a pencil
3. Measuring a football field
4. Measuring a book thickness
A. Ruler
B. Measuring tape (long)
C. Metre stick
D. Callipers
8. Convert these measurements:

a) 2.5 metres = _________ centimetres

b) 1500 millimetres = _________ metres

c) 0.75 kilometres = _________ metres

🎯 Part 4: Real-World Applications

9. You need to paint a rectangular wall that is 4 metres wide and 3 metres high. How much paint do you need if 1 litre covers 6 square metres?

Area of wall = _________ square metres

Paint needed = _________ litres

10. A swimming pool is 25 metres long, 10 metres wide, and 2 metres deep. What is its volume in cubic metres?

Volume = _________ cubic metres

11. Estimate first, then explain your reasoning:

The perimeter of your classroom is approximately:

20 metres

50 metres

100 metres

200 metres

🧮 Part 5: Problem Solving Challenge

12. Design Challenge: Draw a composite shape made of rectangles and triangles, then calculate its perimeter and area.

Perimeter = _________ units

Area = _________ square units

13. A box company needs to know how much cardboard is needed for a box with dimensions 30cm × 20cm × 15cm. They need the surface area (all 6 faces). Calculate this.

Surface area = _________ square centimetres

14. Reflection: What measurement strategies helped you most in solving these problems?
