Learning Intention: We are learning to find the area of different shapes.
Success Criteria: I can demonstrate how to find the area of a rectangle (using LxW) or composite shapes.
Whole class: Begin with arrays.
Different to perimeter, when calculating area we multiply two sides. Our answers should include the square units of the measurement we are using (so if the length of a side is in centimetres, the area of the shape will be measured in square centimetres)

Use the grid paper to design a plan for your dream bedroom. Include and label 8 items. Find the area of each item first, then you can go back and calculate the perimeter of all of your items. You should include composite shapes in your design. With Mr Michell: Abby, Erika, Tahlia, Suzhanna, Jayden, Lachlan |
Reflection: How do you feel about calculating the area of shapes? Complete this quick learning reflection.
