Perimeter, Area and Volume - Area of a Triangle (2) - Starter

The 'Fluent in Four' revision section presents a series of mathematical challenges designed to test and reinforce the understanding of perimeter, area, and numerical operations for Year 6 students during the Spring term of Week 8, Day 4. Students are tasked with comparing the area and perimeter of different shapes, with the questions prompting them to explore whether two shapes can have the same area but different perimeters. The exercises also include arithmetic problems, such as calculating the result of '4 less than 58 tens divide double 8' and finding the quotient of '81 ÷ 3'. Through these questions, students practice their skills in multiplication, division, and understanding mathematical relationships.

Additionally, the worksheet includes an activity where students must complete a table by measuring the lengths of various shapes and then calculating their areas. Given that all squares on the grid are 1 cm in length, students are required to determine the approximate area of each shape by counting the whole and partial squares. This exercise helps students to approximate areas and understand the concept of measurement units. Moreover, the worksheet provides a conversion task, where students convert a number of days into the equivalent number of weeks and days, reinforcing their understanding of time and the relationship between different units of time measurement.
