Zoo Sizes

This maths scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets 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. The class can model how to solve problems in different units of measurement for length.

Zoo Fences
Identify and calculate the costs of fencing different animal enclosures in a zoo when using perimeter measurements that have been recorded in metres

Zoo Enclosures
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
-
Family Scenes
Explore how authors use vocabulary and dialogue to illustrate character relationships in a story about family life
-
Homophones Matching
Explore the spelling and meaning of some different words that are homophones by matching and listing pairs of words with the same pronunciations
-
Friction
Investigate, describe and test the effects of air and water resistance and friction on different objects and materials presenting results using graphs and tables
-
Capacity Conversions
Explain and model how to convert between different units of measurement for capacity by comparing and matching capacities in litres and millilitres
