Here is an example paragraph for you to look at!Out on the heath, night was falling. Banquo and his son Fleance had been hunting and were on their way back to Dunsinane. Whilst walking through the forest, a chill went down both their spines as they felt the stare of the tress surrounding them. “Do you feel that son?” Banquo enquired. “It does not feel too safe around these parts, somethings not right”.“Can we walk faster?” the boy replied. Both of them knew they had to get back quickly.

Maths task The task should take around 30 minutes.

Recap: can you find the missing lengths of this shape and then find the perimeter

Now we are going to find the area of these shapes by multiplying the length by the width.

Draw (accurately) a rectangle with a width of 9cm and a length of 5cm and calculate the area.Now draw a rectangle with the same area but different dimensions.Next, find the perimeter of both rectangles and compare which is the biggest.

Draw (accurately) a rectangle with a width of 4cm and a length of 6cm and calculate the area.Now draw a rectangle with the same area but different dimensions.Next, find the perimeter of both rectangles and compare which is the biggest.
