After last weeks work on perimeter, the children have moved on to working out area. To help us contextualise this concept, we have used the squares in our books to create shapes and find the area. This week, we have also been focusing on our reasoning skills and explaining to our friends what strategies we used to help us find the answer. With the help of sentence stems and key maths vocabulary, the children were able to explain their reasoning and record how to found the solution in their books.
