Lesson
Driving Question: Which shape, with a perimeter of 10m, has the biggest area?

Learning Objectives: To be able to calculate the area of shapes in the real world. 

Success Criteria
Beginning
To understand how to find the area of rectangles and triangle.
Developing
To understand how to find the areas of parallelogram and trapezium.
Mastering
To apply the rules you have learnt in order to find the area of compound shapes (shapes made from a collection of 'simple' shapes). 


Resources

Beginning
We start by looking to calculate the areas of rectangles and then triangles. 

B1
Test your understanding of finding the area of rectangles. 

B2

B3
Learn and assess your understand of finding the area of triangles. 

B4 (Check Point)
For each of these triangles you need to calculate the area. In some cases it is not possible to work out the area and therefore you must explain why.







Developing 
We now look to calculate the areas of parallelograms and then trapeziums. 

D1
Test your understand of find the area of parallelograms.

D2




Masterings
We now look to calculate the areas of compound shapes. 

M1
Learn and assess your understand of finding the area of compound shapes. 
CIMT: Compound Shapes

M2
M3
Test your understand of find the area of compound shapes.

M4 (Check Point)
Differentiated compound shape questions (print)

M5 (Investigation)
