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.
Identify, record and compare the surface areas of a range of different rectilinear and irregular shapes by counting their matching numbers of squares
Lesson One : Shape Areas
Compare and describe square and rectangular shapes by the difference in their surface areas
Lesson Two : Shape Squares
Identify and explain the importance of using the same sized squares when measuring the surface area of a shape
Lesson Three : Area Match
Select and record examples of different rectilinear shapes with the same area by counting their matching number of squares
Lesson Four : Letter Areas
Measure and record the shape of different letters of the alphabet by counting their matching number of squares
Lesson Five : Area Squiggles
Practise identifying the area of different irregular shapes by counting their matching number of full and half squares
-
Shape Locations
Explain and model how to record and change the co-ordinate positions of some different geometric shapes using translation and reflection movements in the first quadrant.
-
Shape Symmetry
Explore, record and compare the matching lines of symmetry that can be found in a range of different geometric shapes as part of their individual properties
-
School Classrooms
Explain and record how to link pairs of sentence clauses about things that might happen in a school classroom using a range of matching conjunctions
-
Animal Encyclopaedia
Design and produce a class encyclopaedia including entries and information about different classes of animals found in the world
