Grandmother’s Quilt: the Patchwork Story
A short read for Class 5 before you play. These notes follow Chapter 11 of NCERT Math Mela.
🧵 Lace for the border
Grandmother wants lace all round her quilt. The length of that border is the perimeter. A quilt 14 units by 6 units needs 40 units of lace.
🔷 Shapes that tile
Squares, rectangles and triangles cover a table with no gaps and no overlaps. Circles leave gaps, so they do not tile.
▦ Counting squares
A square grid makes it easy to compare areas. A square with sides 1 unit has area 1 square unit, so we just count squares.
🟨 Rows and columns
6 rows of 4 patches make 24 patches. So the area of a rectangle is length × breadth.
🔁 Same area, new shape
A 6 by 2 and a 4 by 3 rectangle both cover 12 squares, but their borders are 16 and 14 units long.
⬛ Squares
For a square with side 5 units, the area is 5 × 5 = 25 and the perimeter is 4 × 5 = 20.

Introduction to Grandmother’s Quilt
The chapter starts with lace for the border of a quilt and moves to tiling, area on a square grid, and the formulas for rectangles and squares. Children then compare shapes with equal area or equal perimeter.
What is there in this chapter
- Perimeter as the length of the border.
- Covering surfaces with tiles.
- Shapes that tile and shapes that do not.
- Area counted in unit squares.
- Comparing areas on a square grid.
- Same area with different perimeters.
- Area of a rectangle and a square.
- Perimeter of a rectangle and a square.
Learning objectives
- Find the perimeter of rectangles and squares.
- Understand area as covering with unit squares.
- Use length × breadth for area.
- Find a missing side from the area or perimeter.
- Reason about assertions and case studies.
Learning outcomes
- The child can find that a 12 by 8 rectangle has perimeter 40.
- The child can find that a 9 by 7 rectangle has area 63.
- The child can show that two shapes can have the same area and different perimeters.
- The child can solve a case study on lace, fences and tiles.

Types of questions you may see
- Find the area or perimeter of a rectangle or square.
- Find a missing side.
- Compare two shapes on a grid.
- Assertion and reason questions.
- Case study questions on lace, fences and tiles.
Solved examples
2 × 15 + 2 × 10 = 50 cm.
7 × 7 = 49 square cm.
52 ÷ 4 = 13 cm.
96 ÷ 12 = 8 m.
28 - 2 = 26 m.
Both have area 16, but the perimeters are 16 and 20.
Common mistakes
| Mistake | Correct idea |
|---|---|
| Writing area in cm. | Area uses square cm. |
| Adding only one length and one breadth for perimeter. | Use 2 lengths and 2 breadths. |
| Thinking equal area means equal perimeter. | Shapes with the same area can have different perimeters. |
| Using 2 × side for the perimeter of a square. | A square has 4 equal sides, so use 4 × side. |
Grandmother’s Quilt in daily life
Quilts, rugs, floors, fences and picture frames all need area or perimeter. Choosing the right idea saves cloth, paint and money.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Measure a table with sticky notes of equal size.
- Use a square grid to compare leaves or palms.
- Measure the border of a book with a string.
- Practise one assertion and one case study each week.

Grandmother’s Quilt Class 5 FAQs
What is Chapter 11 of NCERT Class 5 Maths Math Mela?
Chapter 11 is Grandmothers Quilt. It covers perimeter as the length of a border, tiling a surface, comparing areas on a square grid, the area of a rectangle and a square, and shapes with the same area but different perimeters.
What is perimeter in maths for Class 5?
Perimeter is the length of the border of a shape, or the distance all the way round it. For a rectangle it is 2 x length + 2 x breadth. It is measured in units like cm and m.
What is area in maths for Class 5?
Area is the amount of surface a shape covers. We find it by filling the shape with unit squares and counting them. It is measured in square units like square cm and square m.
What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?
Area of a rectangle = length x breadth. For example a rectangle 9 cm long and 7 cm wide has area 63 square cm. It is the same as the number of rows times the number of columns.
What is the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle?
Perimeter of a rectangle = length + length + breadth + breadth = 2 x length + 2 x breadth. A rectangle 12 cm by 8 cm has perimeter 24 + 16 = 40 cm.
What are the area and perimeter formulas of a square?
For a square of side s, the area is s x s and the perimeter is 4 x s. A square of side 5 cm has area 25 square cm and perimeter 20 cm.
What is the difference between area and perimeter?
Perimeter is the length around the edge and is measured in cm or m. Area is the space inside and is measured in square cm or square m. Lace for a border needs perimeter and carpet for a floor needs area.
Which shapes tile a surface without gaps?
Squares, rectangles and triangles of the same size cover a surface with no gaps and no overlaps. Circles leave gaps, so they do not tile a surface.
Why do we use a square as the unit of area?
A square has all sides equal, so it fits neatly in rows and columns. A square with sides 1 unit has an area of 1 square unit, and this lets us measure area like we measure length.
Can two shapes have the same area but different perimeters?
Yes. A 6 by 2 rectangle and a 4 by 3 rectangle both have area 12 square units, but their perimeters are 16 and 14 units. So the same area does not mean the same perimeter.
How do you find a missing side if the area is given?
Divide the area by the known side. If a garden has area 64 square m and length 16 m, the breadth is 64 divided by 16, which is 4 m.
What can children do on this page?
Children can take a 20-question online quiz with assertion and reason and case study questions, play five games, try five online activities, finish five challenges, run the Area Lab and two virtual experiments, and fill in a 16-question practice sheet with a Show answers button.
