6.2 Perimeter, area and volume
Core concept 6.2 covers how the formulae for perimeter, area and volume are derived and connected, and the importance of reasoning mathematically to solve a range of problems.
The first document below breaks the entire core concept down into smaller ‘key ideas’, and also identifies the prior learning from KS2 necessary for students to make progress within this KS3 area of maths.
Underneath are resources and videos from several other areas of the NCETM website. Some include materials for use in the classroom. Others are solely for professional development purposes, either alone or with colleagues. And right at the bottom is a subject knowledge audit you can download to assess your own knowledge of this core concept.
The video below is related to the teaching of this core concept. If you wish to download the video, you can do so from the Vimeo showcase.
