Area & Perimeter Grid Challenge Generator (Design a Zoo, City or Robot)
Grid-paper area and perimeter practice for ages 8–11. Count the squares of shaded rectangles, L- and T-shapes; draw shapes to a rule; plan a zoo, city, robot, farm or theme park on one big grid; find three rectangles with the same area; or work out a hidden side. Every page comes with an answer key.
Every square on the grid is 1 square unit and every side is 1 unit. Start with Count the squares, then let kids draw shapes to a rule, and finish with a design challenge where they plan a zoo, city, robot, farm or theme park.
