About this worksheet
Why we built it
Year 7 students are expected to fluently calculate area and perimeter of rectangles, triangles and parallelograms, and apply those formulas to real-world problems. These worksheets give them mixed-shape practice every click so they can't just memorise one type.
What's covered
Sub-skills your student will practise
- ✓Perimeter of rectangles, squares and compound shapes
- ✓Area of a rectangle and square
- ✓Area of a triangle using base x height x 1/2
- ✓Area of parallelograms
- ✓Word problems involving floor area, paint, fencing

From our families
Parents on the practice questions.
“Tuterly has been exactly what we needed since Tom started secondary school. Once the topic tests began, he was struggling to keep up. Now he has unlimited practice, all matched to what his class is actually covering, and his Maths results have improved noticeably.”

“My daughter used to leave revision until the night before. Having a platform she can dip into for fifteen minutes after dinner has completely changed that. She's calmer going into assessments, and honestly, so am I.”

“I like that I can just keep doing questions until it clicks. If I get something wrong, it shows me why, and then gives me another one like it.”

Frequently asked
Questions parents ask about area and perimeter
What area and perimeter formulas does Year 7 require?
Rectangles (length x width), squares (side squared), triangles (half x base x height), and parallelograms (base x height). Year 8 builds on this with composite shapes and circles.
Why is the triangle area formula a half?
Because a triangle is exactly half a parallelogram with the same base and height - you can prove this by cutting a parallelogram diagonally. Most Year 7 students remember the formula but not why; the worksheets occasionally test the reasoning.
How do students handle parallelograms when the height isn't given?
The height must be perpendicular to the base, not the slanted side. This catches a lot of students who multiply the two visible side lengths instead of base x perpendicular height.
What units do answers need to be in?
Always include units. Area answers use squared units (cm^2, m^2). Perimeter uses linear units (cm, m). Marks are routinely deducted for missing or wrong units even when the number is correct.
Want a real plan for the term?
Worksheets are great for repetition. A Tuterly tutor can spot the specific moves your student keeps getting wrong and fix them in one or two sessions.
