Download our free Year 6 maths overview. Explore maths subject leader resources.
Develop pupils’ understanding of area, perimeter and volume with our Year 6 worksheets, teaching slides and structured lesson plans. Fully aligned with the White Rose Spring Block 5 small steps, these lessons guide pupils through comparing shapes with equal areas, calculating area and perimeter of rectilinear shapes, and applying formulas to find the area of triangles and parallelograms.
Pupils build confidence moving from visual methods such as counting squares and decomposing shapes to applying efficient mathematical formulas. The block then introduces volume through counting cubes before progressing to calculating the volume of cuboids using multiplication. Each lesson includes differentiated worksheets, clear modelling, reasoning prompts and problem-solving tasks, all mapped to the National Curriculum and forming part of our complete KS2 Maths Masters scheme.
Our Year 6 area, perimeter and volume worksheets and lesson resources follow the full White Rose Spring Block 5 progression. Pupils begin by exploring shapes that share the same area before revisiting the relationship between area and perimeter in rectangles and rectilinear shapes. As the unit develops, pupils learn how to calculate the area of triangles, including right-angled triangles, and move on to finding the area of parallelograms using mathematical formulas.
These KS2 maths resources include differentiated worksheets, modelling slides, fluency tasks and structured reasoning activities. Pupils practise solving area and perimeter problems, calculate the area of triangles and parallelograms, and build a secure understanding of volume by counting cubes and finding the volume of cuboids. As part of our complete Maths Masters scheme, this block provides clear progression through key Year 6 measurement and geometry concepts while supporting pupils with reasoning and problem-solving questions.
