Widths and Lengths
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and record the possible widths and lengths in whole centimetre measurements to match the areas of some different sized rectangle shapes.
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 identify and record the possible widths and lengths in whole centimetre measurements to match the areas of some different sized rectangle shapes
Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated worksheets to calculate and record the possible widths and lengths in centimetres to match the area of different sized rectangles when using standard methods for multiplication to find the pairs of matching measurements.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to record possible widths and lengths in centimetres to match the area of different sized rectangles.
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.
