Times Table & Area

L.I: Identify the area of a rectangle and to measure it.

I learnt about the meaning of area and how to measure it in the fastest way. Area means the squares inside a shape, in this case a rectangle. The fastest way to measure it is by using times tables. Count the amount of squares on the side and the amount of squares on the top row then times the 2.

We got a piece of the class pixel paper and made differents sizes of rectangles and squares. Then we named them a, b, c, d, e,...and etc. We glued the sheet of paper in our maths books and answered their areas below it using the times tables method. To know which equation we were answering, we name it the Letter it was put as. For example I made the square/rectangle and counted the boxes from the top and the side then put a “x” between to show that it was multiplying both the numbers when I answered the equation.
