P5 McAuley Working on Area

11th Apr 2017

Mr McAuley’s class have been looking at ‘area’ in their maths work recently so today we put our knowledge to the test. The children measured out four ½ m by ½ m squares, sticking them together and calculating the area of the shape. They then cut the metre square to make to congruent triangles. The children were then able to measure the area of the triangles and create both an isosceles triangle and a parallelogram, discussing their various properties. The children worked very hard in their groups with everyone putting in a great effort.
