This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to investigate how to calculate and record the areas of different sized rectangle shapes using matching measurements in square centimetres, millimetres and metres.

The class can identify and explain how to use a formula to find the area of a shape using a multiplication number calculation when multiplying measured widths by lengths.

Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to investigate how to calculate and record the areas of different sized rectangle shapes using matching measurements in square centimetres, millimetres and metres

Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated worksheets to calculate and record the areas of some different sized shapes using measurements in square centimetres for support ability levels, in square centimetres and millimetres for core ability levels and in square centimetres, millimetres and metres for extension ability levels.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to calculate and record the areas of different sized shapes using measurements in centimetres, millimetres and metres.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify and model how to find the areas of different shapes by multiplying measured widths and lengths using standard methods of calculation. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
