What Perimeter and Area covers in Class 6

Chapter 6 of the Class 6 Ganita Prakash book, Perimeter and Area, asks two different questions about a flat shape: how long is the boundary, and how much surface does it cover? Children measure the distance around rectangles and squares, count and calculate the space inside them, and learn why the two answers need different units. Keeping those two ideas apart is the main skill this chapter builds.

This page sets the worksheet generator to that chapter. A sheet mixes several kinds of question:

• drawn rectangles and triangles with their measurements marked, where the child finds the perimeter or the area;
• triangle areas worked out as half of base times height;
• fill in the blanks, such as the perimeter of a square of side 6 cm, or the width of a rectangle when its area and length are given;
• multiple choice and true or false questions about rectangles and squares;
• word problems set in parks, gardens and rooms: running rounds of a square park, fencing a garden at so many rupees per metre, and counting the square tiles needed for a floor.

The questions are made with fresh numbers each time from lists written for this site. Nothing is copied from the textbook.

How to make a sheet for this chapter

1. Class 6, Maths and Perimeter and area are already chosen. Keep Medium for regular homework; it adds questions such as finding the missing width of a rectangle from its area. Use Easy for the first week of the chapter.
2. Pick 15 questions for a 30-minute practice, or 25 for a weekend revision before a unit test.
3. For a class, choose Sets A and B so neighbours get different figures and different fencing sums.
4. Type your school or tuition name if you want it in the header, then download the PDF or print it on A4.
5. Leave the answer key on, and keep its last page aside before you hand the sheet out.

Tips for parents and teachers

Units first. In this chapter, marks are often lost on units rather than on multiplication. Before checking any number, look at the unit: cm or m for a boundary, sq cm or sq m for a surface. A child who writes 54 cm for the area of a 9 cm by 6 cm rectangle has the right sum and the wrong idea.

Draw it. For the fencing and park problems, ask your child to make a quick sketch and write the lengths on all four sides. It stops the common mistake of adding only two sides, or forgetting that three rounds of a park means three times the perimeter.

Use the key to talk, not just to tick. When an answer is wrong, compare it with the key and ask what was found by mistake. Often the child has calculated the area when the question wanted the perimeter, or the other way round.

Short and often. Two sheets a week of 10 to 15 questions while the chapter is being taught work better than one long sheet the night before the test. Press New questions for a fresh sheet whenever you need one. When the chapter is done, the Class 6 maths worksheet mixes it with the other chapters for revision.
