Year 4 Maths Spring Block 2 focuses on length and perimeter, developing pupils’ understanding of metric measures before applying this knowledge to perimeter. Aligned with the Year 4 National Curriculum and White Rose Maths progression, pupils work with metres and kilometres and calculate the perimeter of a range of shapes.
Across the block, pupils find equivalent lengths in metres and kilometres before finding perimeter on grids and calculating the perimeter of rectangles and rectilinear shapes. They then find missing lengths and calculate the perimeter of regular and irregular polygons.
Spring Block 2 forms part of the Maths Masters Year 4 Spring sequence. Explore the full term to see how measurement and perimeter fit into the wider Year 4 maths progression.

Our Year 4 length and perimeter resources help pupils develop their understanding of metric measures and apply this knowledge to calculating perimeter. Pupils work with metres and kilometres, equivalent lengths and the perimeter of rectangles, rectilinear shapes and polygons.
The block includes Year 4 perimeter worksheets, teaching slides and activities covering perimeter on a grid, the perimeter of rectangles and rectilinear shapes, missing length problems and the perimeter of regular and irregular polygons.
Year 4 pupils convert between different units of measure, including kilometres and metres, and measure and calculate the perimeter of rectilinear figures. Working with missing lengths and different types of polygons gives pupils opportunities to apply addition, subtraction and measurement knowledge when solving perimeter problems.
