Calculate the perimeter and area of squares and rectangles, and work backwards from a given perimeter.
Perimeter is distance around, area is space inside — and children routinely mix them up. These questions keep both in play together, including inverse problems where the perimeter is given and a missing side must be found.
Examples of what the practice generator produces. Answers are shown so parents and teachers can judge the level before starting.
1. A square has sides of 7 cm. What is its perimeter?
EasyAnswer: 28 cm
2. A rectangle is 12 cm long and 5 cm wide. What is its area?
MediumAnswer: 60 sq cm
3. A rectangle has a perimeter of 30 cm and a length of 9 cm. What is its breadth?
HardAnswer: 6 cm
Questions are generated fresh each time, so they never run out.
Printable worksheets
Generate a perimeter & area worksheet of 5–20 questions with a separate teacher answer key, ready to print for a class or for homework.
Three difficulty levels
Easy, Medium and Hard run side by side, so a mixed-ability class can work on the same topic at the level that suits each child.
Instant feedback
Children get up to three attempts with step-by-step working revealed afterwards — no marking needed for practice sessions.
Nothing to set up
No accounts, no logins, no data collected from children. Open the page on any school device and start.
StudyZone is a fun practice tool, not an assessment platform.
Questions are randomly generated and are not a substitute for formal evaluation. A child's performance here does not reflect their academic ability or school readiness.
