The document discusses calculating the perimeter of rectangles. It defines perimeter as the total length of all sides of a shape. It provides examples of finding the perimeter by adding the lengths of all sides together. For rectangles where not all side lengths are given, the document notes additional strategies like doubling one side length and adding it to the other. Finally, it directs readers to practice calculating perimeters of drawn rectangles in their math workbook.

width and double it
6. How do we find the missing
lengths?

7. Perimeters worksheet
In your maths book, draw each shape
accurately (using a ruler). Then work
out the perimeter and record it
underneath the shape.
