1/2 SMarty news

In Maths we have been learning about area. We started by measuring shapes on the floor using people and kinder squares, to see which unit would be the most suitable.

Here are some photos of us measuring the shapes using students, and some comments from 1/2SM students about measuring area.

When we measure area there should be no gaps - Ellia

We need to fill the surface with the same shape - Cristina R

The shapes should not overlap - Grace

People are not an accurate unit of measurement because they are all different shapes and sizes - Asher

We can use informal or formal units to measure area - Bryan

You always need to use the same size shape to measure area - Ben
