Today we have continued our work on area and perimeter.
Primary 4 have concentrated on area while P5 have included some perimeter in their work.
Here are our thoughts…
Jake – We have drawn shapes on dotted squared paper. I found it easy to draw the shapes to the correct size. I would like to move onto finding out about the perimeter of shapes next.
Carmen – I think finding the area of a shape is quite easy. I just make lines on the shape and then count the squares. I would also like to find out more about the perimeter of shapes.
Hannah – I enjoyed putting down our square metre and finding out how many objects we could fit into it. We managed to fit 4 chairs into 1 square metre. Finding the perimeter of the shapes was trickier so i would like to practise this more.
Kara – I found it tricky to find the perimeter to start with as I was counting the squares for the area but a friend showed me how and now I understand.
Please look at the photos of the fun we had with area and perimeter today!
Well done for explaining your learning so well Primary 4/5. You are certainly very reflective learners. You know what you do well and what your next steps are.
