Class 6 Mathematics Perimeter and Area handwritten notes

Prepared by Collegedunia NCERT Faculty

These handwritten revision notes follow the Class 6 Ganita Prakash order and keep every perimeter or area rule beside a short example.

Student Feedback: In a Collegedunia study check of 10,640 Class 6 students, most students found Perimeter and Area easier after writing boundary or region before solving.

Class 6 Mathematics Chapter 6 Handwritten Notes Overview

Perimeter and Area teaches students to separate boundary length from covered region. The handwritten PDF starts with rectangle, square and triangle perimeter. It then moves to area, grid counting, triangle area and mixed shape puzzles.

The main check is simple: perimeter means around, area means inside. Students should write this first before choosing a formula.

What These Perimeter and Area Handwritten Notes Cover

The PDF has 28 handwritten pages. Each page focuses on one study point, so students can revise the chapter without reading the full textbook again.

  • Perimeter: rectangle, square, triangle and regular polygon boundary rules.
  • Word problems: fencing, wire, string, running tracks and repeated rounds.
  • Area: rectangle area, square area, carpets, gardens and remaining region.
  • Shapes: tangram comparisons, grid estimates and triangle area.
  • Mixed practice: house plans, area maze puzzles and 9-square perimeter tasks.

Perimeter and Area Formula Rules for Class 6

Start every question by deciding whether the answer needs a length unit or a square unit. This one step prevents most formula mix-ups.

FigurePerimeter or Area RuleUse Case
RectangleP = 2 x (length + breadth)Fence, lace, track or border
SquareP = 4 x sideFrame, park round or string
Rectangle areaA = length x breadthFloor, plot, garden or room
Triangle areaA = half x base x heightHalf of a rectangle

Perimeter and Area Difference for Class 6 Students

Perimeter counts the outside boundary. Area counts the inside surface. A fence around a park needs perimeter, but grass inside the park needs area.

Perimeter versus area difference for Class 6 Mathematics

Use perimeter when the question says around, boundary, lace, fence, wire or round. Use area when it says cover, tile, carpet, garden, floor or region.

How to Revise Perimeter and Area Quickly

A short revision plan works better than rereading the whole chapter. Use the PDF once for formulas and once for word problems.

  • First revise perimeter of rectangle, square, triangle and regular polygon.
  • Next solve wire, string, fencing and running-track questions.
  • Then revise area of rectangle, square and triangle.
  • Finally practise split figures, tangrams and area maze puzzles.

Safe habit: write the unit at the end of every answer. Perimeter gets cm or m. Area gets sq cm or sq m.

Common Mistakes in Perimeter and Area

Most wrong answers come from choosing the wrong formula before reading the action word. Mark the action word first, then calculate.

  • Do not use area formula for fencing or tape questions.
  • Do not forget to multiply by the number of rounds.
  • Do not write square units for perimeter answers.
  • Do not count joined edges in split-and-rejoin figures.
  • Do not forget half in the triangle area formula.

Tip: if a question has the same pieces arranged differently, the area stays the same. The perimeter can change.
