  3. Recap on definition of perimeter.
  4. Go through two examples from previous homework.
  5. Recap on perimater and area -- of rectangle, square and triangle. (Write these up on the board.)

Development activities (including AFL)
  • Area of Kite
    • Who can tell me what a kite is? A with two adjacent sides of equal length.
    • The area of a kite is half length x width.
    • Area of a kite = half x length x width
  • Area of Trapezium
    • Who can tell me what a trapezium is? A quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides.
    • Area = Half (a + b) x h
  • Carry on with worksheet in silence. See how far you can get in 10 minutes. Write the answers in your exercise books.
    • While they do this, take the register and write up the evening's homework.
  • Subtracting areas.
Plenary / AFL
  • WWW (what went well?)
  • EBI (even better if...)
Cross-curricular links (Literacy, Numeracy, Citizenship, Spirituality, ICT)
