School Garden
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to practise using geometry and number calculation skills to design and calculate the cost of building a garden area somewhere in the school grounds.
The class can explain and model how to use a formal written method of calculation for multiplication to make it easier and quicker to find the area of a specific shape.
