Area and Perimeter Worksheet Pack (Sports Centre Themed) | KS2 Printable Math Worksheets

Ten sports-centre-themed area and perimeter activities that take KS2 children from calculating basic areas and perimeters through to working backwards from given measurements and reasoning about how the two relate.

What's inside:

• Sports Centre Areas – children calculate the area of rectangular spaces, compare which of two courts has the greater area, and reason about a common area misconception
• Perimeter on the Pitch – children calculate perimeters, compare courts, and find alternative dimensions for a matching perimeter
• Area or Perimeter? – children decide whether a real-world scenario calls for area or perimeter before calculating, building conceptual understanding of when each applies
• The Missing Measurement – children work backwards from an area or perimeter to find a missing side length, including finding multiple possible dimension pairs
• Same Area, Different Perimeter – children compare four rectangles with different dimensions to investigate how area and perimeter can vary independently
• Sports Centre Floor Plan – children use a floor plan with labelled room dimensions to calculate multiple areas and perimeters and compare rooms
• Sports Centre Problems – worded problems combining area, perimeter, cost, and working backwards from a given perimeter
• Sports Centre Investigation – open investigations exploring what rectangles are possible with a fixed amount of fencing or a fixed area
• What Went Wrong at the Sports Centre? – children spot and correct calculation mistakes, and evaluate true/false reasoning statements about area and perimeter
• Ultimate Sports Centre Challenge – a final challenge covering area, perimeter, comparison, and working backwards from given measurements

Why parents & teachers love this pack:
Rather than treating area and perimeter as two separate formulas to memorise, this pack builds real conceptual understanding of when to use each, how they relate, and how to reason about them — a common area of confusion at KS2.
