Maths: Area & Perimeter What's in your name?

We are looking at the perimeter and area of spaces.
That is:
Perimeter:  how far around the outside  - cm
Area: how much to cover the surface  - cm squared

1.  Make the letters of your name using blocks on the maths sheet.
     (Try to use whole blocks & straight lines.)
2.  Colour in the letters so it is clear how many squares are used.
3.  Count how many edges of the blocks around the outside of each letter = perimeter
4.  Count how many blocks used up in total to cover the letter = areayhu
