Watch lesson 1 of week 4 from the White Rose Home Learning link for the Summer term.
This lesson looks at how to find the area of a rectangle.
There is a short video for you to watch. There is also a game saved below for you to play.
Game (you played this last week)
Nrich - Area and perimeter game.
Click on the link below to play this area and perimeter game.
Remember, when you find the area of a shape you are measuring the size of the surface or the space occupied by the shape.
To work out the area of a square or rectangle, multiply its height by its width.
If the height and width are in cm, the area is shown in cm². If the height and width are in m, the area is shown in m².
A square with sides of 5 m has an area of 25 m², because 5 × 5 = 25.
You can also just count up all of the squares inside the shape, this is particularly useful if the shape is not a square or a rectangle. If there are half squares inside the shape, then you will need to join two of them together to make a whole square.
