Class 2 braved the biting wind to apply their measure skills for area and perimeter today. We used our playground to undertake a range of measure challenges. Using our knowledge of shape properties, we had to draw squares, rectangles and triangles of given perimeter and areas. We also had the option to choose our own dimensions where we then calculated the area and perimeter as appropriate. We remembered to apply our formulae and to use the correct unit of measure. We also developed our HOTS & soft skills by working collaboratively in pairs. We cooperated, negotiated, listened and applied our skills. We were successful learners.
I can explain how different methods can be used to find the perimeter and area of a simple 2D shape. MNU 2-11c
