Good morning- hope you are all well.

Maths

Area is the term used to define the amount of space taken up by a 2D shape or surface. We measure area in square units : cm²  or m². 

Area of a rectangle or square is calculated by multiplying the length of a shape by its width. In this case, we could work out the area of this square even if it wasn't on squared paper, just by working out 5cm x 5cm = 25cm² (the shape is not drawn to scale).

1. Count the squares to find the area of these rectangles

2. Calculate the area of these rectangles

3. a) What would the area of this shape if each square is 2cm in length.

b) What would the area of the shape be if each square is 5cm in length.

4. How many rectangles can you draw with an area of 24 cm. How will you know that you have got them all.

Idea gathering

Later this week we are going to be writing a poem to describe the outside and gardens. If you can, sit outside or look out the window and write down anything you can see, smell, feel and hear. Collect descriptive words and phrases on a piece of paper- you will need these later in the week. Focus on capturing small details such as leaf patterns, the colours of the flowers growing and the sounds of the weather and the animals. Can you make any comparisons? You could also use the pictures below to give you some ideas.
