This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to explore and model how to use number calculations for multiplication and division to identify the number of wild animals that can fit into different areas in a zoo.
The class can identify the number formulas that can be used when finding the area of a specific animal enclosure to be calculated when multiplying measurements in metres.
Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explore and model how to use number calculations for multiplication and division to identify the number of wild animals that can fit into different areas in a zoo
Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to practise using multiplication and division calculations to identify and record the number of wild animals that can fit into different areas in a zoo using measurements that have been recorded in whole metres.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use number calculations to identify the number of animals that can fit into different areas in a zoo.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to practise calculating the perimeters and areas of different places and buildings that can be found in a zoo when using formulas and number calculation skills. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
