Maths Quiz - Perimeter and Area (Difficult) (Questions)

Perimeter and area is all about measuring the size of shapes. This is the last section of our 11-plus Maths quizzes on perimeter and area so the questions are that little bit more difficult.

In your Maths lessons, you will be concentrating on working with flat shapes to find perimeters and areas. Objects in real-life also have perimeters and areas too. Think of a cricket pitch. It has a specific length and width - and therefore you would be able to work out both perimeter and area.

On your travels this week, see how many objects you can spot where the perimeter could be found quite easily. For some objects, you'd only need a ruler.

These are the hardest of our quizzes on perimeter and area. If you play all three sections and get all the questions right, you're an expert!
