Independent Activities Teacher Notes Year

Task Cards Students work independently on task cards

Perimeter # 20 cards
Area # 20 Cards
Perimeter and Area # 8 cards
Teaching Ideas:
Numeracy Rotational activity (small groups) students
work on task cards and record how many they have
completed, every week during numeracy rotations.
Fast-Finisher activity (independent) students work on
these task cards if they have completed the set work, this
ensures that all students are working and not distracting
others.

Robot Invasion Directions:
This set of task cards is designed to engage students by having
them demonstrate their ability to find the Area and Perimeter
while stimulating their own creativity.
1. Students work independently work on a task card
creating their robot.
2. Students are able to decorate their robots after they have
created them.
Teaching Ideas:
Concluding activity (Whole Class) Students complete
this activity at the end of a lesson, demonstrating their
knowledge of Perimeter and Area.
Numeracy Rotation Activity (Small groups) Students
work on this task during numeracy rotations.

Connect Through
Perimeter and Area Game
Connect four Rules apply to this game.

Teaching Ideas:
Numeracy Rotation activity (Pairs) Students play the
game during rotational activities.
Extension activity (Pairs) Students who require
extending will benefit form playing this game as it
requires them to use their brains to think of the answers
rather than using a calculator.
