WALT understand area.

Zoom 2

What is area?

Area is the measurement of space inside a CLOSED two-dimensional shape, such as a triangle, square, rectangle.There are lots of different ways to calculate area, however today we will be focusing on using UNIT SQUARES within the shape and counting those.

Although these two-dimensional shapes are presented in different ways - they all have an area of 9cm²

With this shape you can count the number of squares carefully - this will give you the area of the shape. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU PLACE A DOT IN EACH SQUARE TO SHOW YOU HAVE COUNTED IT ACCURATELY. YOU WOULD THEN WRITE IT LIKE THIS:   3cm x 5cm = 15cm² (This stands for squared and needs to be shown because the product is because two distances have been mutliplied)

The area of this shape would be 5cm²

A RECTILINEAR shape is a shape that has straight sides and right angles.
