Children return to school Mon 8th April

This week Year 6 have been learning how to find the area of a triangle and a parallelogram. We did this in a practical way which helped children visualise the shapes and understand the relationships, linking old and new learning.

What did you learn?

Challenge: how could use these strategies to find the area of other polygons?

    I learned that to find the area of a triangle you have to do length times height and then divide the answer by two but to find the area of a quadrilateral, all you do is times the length by the height.

    I have learnt that length times width times height (l times w times h )is how you find the area

    And I loved working about polygons and the area of a shape and it was
    a really good lesson to learn about

    I learnt something new and I am happy

    I learnt how to calculate the volume,area and perimeter .Before I used t9 get confused but now I don’t .Thank to all the teachers.

    I’ve learnt that to find the area you have to do length times width then divide it by two.

    I learnt that the triangles area is half of the rectangle, the way we this did helped me understand because we did visually.

    I learnt that instead of x length by width you times base by height and then divide by 2 to get your answer

      That looks cool 😎
