Eight shapes to go all the way round. The first four sit on a grid: count the unit lengths along the edge of each shape, corner to corner. The other four have their side lengths written on: a rectangle with two sides given (opposite sides are equal), a triangle, a square with one side given and marks to show all four sides are the same, and an L shape with every side labelled. Add the sides and write the perimeter with its unit. Page 2 is the answer key.
