Print and laminate the poster containing all the rules. Once children learn all the rules, provide them with the worksheets that vary in difficulty.

What are Articles?

The words a, an or the are articles. They are used in front of nouns. They are noun markers that modify the noun. (either limit the noun or make it more specific)

We use ‘a’ or ‘an’ when we are talking about something in general, such as ‘a dog’ or ‘an animal’.

When to use ‘a’ and when to use ‘an’?

The use of ‘an’ or ‘a’ depends on the phonetic sound of the first letter of the word.

Use ‘a’ when the next word begins with a consonant sound:

(all letters that are except (a, e, I , o , u) are called consonants.

• a box
• a camera
• a boy
• a torch

Use ‘an’ when the next word begins with a vowel sound:

The vowel sounds are (a, e, I , o , u)

• an umbrella
• an egg
• an igloo
• an insect
• an orange

Three rules for using ‘a’ or ‘an’ articles:

1. Some words start with a vowel letter but sound like a consonant, so we use a before these words:

      2. Use “an” before words beginning with “h” which is not pronounced.

      3. Use “a” when “e” and “eu” makes “y” sound.

What is perimeter

The perimeter is the distance around a 2D shape… You can imagine it as an ant crawling around the shape, so the area the ant will cover is the perimeter of that shape. The perimeter is normally measured in cm but can also be measured in mm and meters

you can calculate perimeter by adding the length of all the sides of the shape

Example 1:

Let’s calculate the perimeter of this shape. There are two ways to do it.

1. Adding all the sides: 4+4+4+4=16
2. Multiplying: instead of adding all the sides you can do it as 4×4=16 which is quite simple and quick.

3 steps to teach perimeter to kids

• First, show this video to your kids. Once it’s done ask kids what they think the perimeter is.

• To get a better picture if your kids have understood the idea give them these worksheets to work on. It will help them gain more confidence in this topic. So grab your rulers and start solving the problem
