Learning about Area

Our thoughts...

Students brainstormed with each other about AREA. We then discussed all our thinking.

We then proceeded to think about surface area and discovered that Australia has about 1.5 % of the surface of the whole world. 

We thought about the surface of the cubes in our room  and how to work out how we could recover them...that was an interesting discussion.

Students were then given a problem to think about ...perimeter and area. Is there a possibility that a rectangle can have the same area as perimeter.

An excellent lesson...
