Maths Number talk: Write down everything you know about finding the area of a shape.

Mathematics

Area: When we find the area of a shape we are measuring the amount of space inside that shape. Choose either star 1, 2 or 3 to do. You may decide to do all 3 stars. You may also like to watch this NumberJacks episode which is all about area. NUMBERJACKS | Areas Of Concern | S2E15

Maths

⭐ Colour the shape with the greatest (largest) area.

⭐Count the grey squares first for each shape. Then circle the shape with the greatest area for

question a) and question b).

⭐⭐: Ordering Area – Find the areas of the shapes below by counting the squares and then

put the areas in order from smallest to largest.

⭐⭐⭐ Write down the area for each shape. The unit of measurement is squares so we are

using ‘square units’ to get the area for each shape. Be careful to only count each square once.

CAPA Drama: You might like to video yourself performing this Drama sequence and share with your family or teacher.

1. Pretend you are an apple seed, crammed tightly into your seed pod. It is winter and you are covered in snow. It is very dark.

2. Now, it is Spring. The earth around you is growing warmer and you start to wake up. The snow melts and the water soaks down to you.

3. You use your energy to push your way through the soil. 4. It is time to come out of your seed pod, just like a baby bird cracks out of an egg. 5. You give one final push and out you come, through the soil and feel the sun for the first

time. 6. Over time you grow into a young tree. 7. You have leaves and you are growing apples on your branches. 8. The apples become heavy and you are weighted down. 9. Suddenly your apples start going, they are being pulled off your branches and your

branches are becoming lighter. 10. You know that the apples will be back next year, it is Winter again and time to rest.
