This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to practise using multiplication number calculations to find and record the areas of some different sized rectangle shapes in square centimetres.

The class can explain and model how to use a formal written method of multiplication to make it easier and quicker to find the area of a shape by multiplying widths by lengths.

Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to practise using multiplication number calculations to find and record the areas of some different sized rectangle shapes in square centimetres

Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to record how to use standard multiplication number calculations to find the areas of different sized rectangle shapes for measurements to twenty centimetres for support ability levels, to thirty centimetres for core ability levels and to fifty centimetres for extension ability levels.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use multiplication number calculations to find the areas of different sized rectangle shapes.

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.
