Entry Activity
Look at the cards on your desk.
In pairs discuss match the key words to the definitions.
Area The space inside the shapeRemember: The grass inside a field
Perimeter The length around the outside of a shapeRemember: The fence around the field
Rectangle A four sided shape, two sets of parallel sides, two pairs of sides that are the same length, all angles are 90˚
Square A four sided shape, all sides are the same length, all angles are 90˚, two pairs of parallel sides
Triangle A shape with three sides, all the sides are straight
cm² This shows a measurement of area
Polygon A shape with only straight sides
Parallel Side by side and having the same distance continuously between them
