Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to compare and describe a selection of different square and rectangular shapes by the difference in their measured surface areas
Activities in this teaching pack include sets of cards to compare and describe square and rectangular shapes by the difference in their surface areas and model and record matching shapes with different surface areas by counting squares.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to compare and describe square and rectangular shapes by the difference in their surface areas.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get 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. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
