  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on transforming shapes through rotation and reflection
    • We are FOCUSING on developing our knowledge of calculating the areas of different shapes


    Success Criteria: I can/have    :

    • calculate the area of a rectangle
    • calculate the area of a triangle


    Activities:

    • Cut Nets task: you are given the nets of 9 different shapes which have been cut into two pieces; can you see which pieces go together?
    • Building Blocks: you are given 3D shapes made from cubes; can you create these shapes with our coloured cubes? What are their areas?
    • Cut and Make: cut a square into 3 triangles, can you make a trapezium, large triangle, and square from the smaller triangles?
