Well done to our amazing problem solvers! \ud83d\udcaa We love a challenge!<\/p>\n
Our second challenge was called Numerically Equal.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0We had to investigate whether it was possible for a square to have an equal perimeter and area.\u00a0 Again, we worked logically together to guess, check and improve. It didn’t take too long before we found that a square with sides 4cm would work! We increased the challenge and checked all other possible solutions before seeing if a rectangle could also have equal perimeter and area. As a group we found a solution: a rectangle with sides 6cm x 3cm! One pupil even realised the rectangle’s length was twice the breadth. Very impressive.<\/p>\n P5 continued to learn more about area and perimeter this week. We thought it was time we challenged ourselves to apply our skills in real life challenges. We discussed jobs that may use area and perimeter as part of Developing the Young Workforce (DYW). We understand that the builders and architects that have been involved … Continue reading Applying Area and Perimeter in Real Life<\/span> ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/public\/class1522\/uploads\/sites\/14694\/2019\/11\/20191106_121600.jpg\")
<\/a>Through the Window<\/strong><\/span> challenged us to figure out why glass windows and their frames had been priced the way they had. We had to work backwards to guess, check and improve our possible price solutions after figuring out the area and perimeter. Phew! Lots of collaboration and discussion meant we were successful in finding the answers:<\/p>\n\n
