Unit H – Area
This maths scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify, record and compare the surface areas of a range of different rectilinear and irregular shapes by counting their matching numbers of squares. The class can suggest and explain how to describe and classify different shapes by their surface areas.
