This week’s homework is Creative and will be looked at on Thursday 09 February.
I can see area and perimeter all around me.
We’ve been brushing up on our area and perimeter knowledge this week so where can we see it in the world around us? As a class, we thought about some ideas for things we could do for this homework:
- Take photos of items around the house and measure it to work out the area and the perimeter.
- Go out and about and measure a field or garden (perhaps in steps rather than metres) to calculate its area and perimeter.
- Plan decorating a house, draw its floor plan and calculate how much it’ll cost for the carpets.
- Create a floor plan of our bedrooms and measure everything inside to place it onto our plan, drawn to scale.
Of course, if you can think of something else, we’ll look forward to seeing that too.
