Erland – Area is how much space there is. In school we have the cosy corner area, classroom areas, playground area, dining hall area. We put on counters over the polar bear’s foot and it took a long time and it was too big to count how many there was! Because the area of the foot print was big and the counters area were small.
Ollie – We measured how much newspaper could fit on the table. 6 could. We measured how much normal paper could fit on. 19 could. Because the newspaper was bigger than the normal paper.
Dhilan – I used cubes to see how many could fill the area of a bit of paper. It too a long time because the cubes are small. Then I did the polar bear footprint and it was 10 cards because the cards are big.
