Measuring lines, area and perimeter (four days).
Children draw a range of rectangles with a given perimeter, and multiply the length by the width to find their areas. They learn to find the areas of right-angled triangles and use this to help to find the area and perimeters of irregular polygons drawn on squared paper. They also find the perimeters of regular polygons by multiplying the length of one side by the number of sides. Square metres, kilometres and millimetres are discussed including when each would be appropriate and children are asked to estimate the areas and perimeters of simple shapes.
