Drills
The distance round a shape, including deducing the unmarked sides of a rectilinear shape before adding.
Author note — to cover
Perimeter of rectilinear and straight-sided shapes, deducing the unmarked sides of L-shapes before adding, with simple algebraic perimeters included. Circles enter at Circumference of a circle, and shapes with curved edges at Semicircles and quarter circles; keep perimeter distinct from area throughout. Both tiers. (G17)
