Task 1 – Identifying Right Angles (1 Dojo Point) Click on the link below to watch a short video about right angles.https://youtu.be/9PakNIwDin4
Look around your home for different objects that have right angles.

each corner.
Task 2 – Calculating Area (1 Dojo Point) Click on the link below to watch a short video clip about area.https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zjbg87h/articles/zwqt6fr
To work out the area of a square or rectangle, you multiply (times x) its length (the longer side) by its width (the shorter side).If the length and width are in cm, the area is shown in cm². If the length and width are in m, the area is shown in m².
A rectangle with a length of 5cm and a width of 3cm has an area of 15cm² because 5 × 3 = 15.Look around your home for different objects in the shape of a square or rectangle. How many can you find?
Choose ‘at least’ 5 of the objects you find. Use a ruler or measuring tape, to carefully measure
the length and width of each object. Find the area of each object by multiplying its
length by its width.

How many different natural patterns can you find? What shapes and colours can you see on each of
the patterns? Discuss what is special about each of the patterns
with someone in your family. For example: Are they symmetrical? Do they repeat? Think of different words (adjectives) to describe the patterns.
