  4. Which One Are You ??? R U a Problem-Coward ? … or … R U a Problem-Cracker? PROBLEM!

  5. R U PC? Problem Cracker ? R U a Picture it Read it Underline it Calculate it STEP 1 ? STEP 3 ? STEP 2 ? STEP 4 ? Underline It ! Calculate It ! Picture It! ! Read it !

  6. Now you’re ready to try out some problems! How to become aPROBLEM-CRACKERin 4 Easy Steps! But first … Check out the basics about areas and perimeters of rectangles … R U P C ? Read it! … what’s it about? Underline it! … find the clues Picture it! … add? subtract? multiply? divide? … use a number line to help Calculate it! … work it out !

  7. 10 m 6 m The Area of a Rectangle …means … the amount of surface inside and measured by … the number of squares inside(eg: square centimetres, square metres, square feet, square yards) How do you find area? Here are some ways you might have met … • COUNT THE SQUARES • 1, 2, 3, … 59, 60 • The area is 60 square metres - Or ROWS X COLUMNS 6 rows of 10 squares = 60 The area is 60 square metres But which way is best? - Or LENGTH X WIDTH = 10 X 6 = 60 The area is 60 square metres

  8. Area Example 1 What is the area of this rectangle? … HOW MANY SQUARES? • METHOD 1: COUNT THE SQUARES • USEFUL METHOD WHEN … • - You can see the squares • AND • there’s not too many to count! Easy! Just count the 12 squares Area = 12 squares centimetres

  9. Area Example 2 What is the area of this rectangle? … HOW MANY SQUARES? • METHOD 2: AREA = ROWS X COLUMNS • USEFUL METHOD WHEN … • - You can see the squares • BUT • there’s too many to count! Too many squares to count! Is there an easier way? You can see there are 6 rows with 10 in each row = 60 squares

  10. 7 cm 5 cm Area Example 3 What is the area of this rectangle? … HOW MANY SQUARES? No squares to count BUT 7cm means 7 squares fit in each row 5 cm means 5 squares fit in each column 2 Number of squares = length x width = 7 x 5 = 35 square centimetres METHOD 3: AREA = LENGTH X WIDTH USEFUL METHOD WHEN … - You can’t see the squares AND It’s very fast

  11. 9 cm 3 cm Area: Test Yourself 1 AREA = COUNT THE SQUARES Area ? Which method best suits each problem? AREA = ROWS X COLUMNS Area ? Area ? AREA = LENGTH X WIDTH

  12. 9 cm 3 cm Area: Test Yourself 1 AREA = LENGTH X WIDTH = 9 x 3 = 27 cm² = 4 x 2 = 8 cm² AND which way works for ALL 3? = 11 x 5 = 55 cm²

  13. Area: Test Yourself 2 A C B 8 cm 5 cm Too many to count! But it’s easy to see there are 6 rows of 7 COUNT THE SQUARES Match the method to the problem ROWS X COLUMNS No squares. Use length x width Easy to count - only a few squares LENGTH X WIDTH

  14. A C B 8 cm 5 cm Area Test Yourself 2 = 7 x 5 = 35 cm² AREA = LENGTH X WIDTH AND which way works for ALL 3? = 8 x 5 = 40 cm² = 3 x 4 = 12 cm²

  15. Area– General Rule for all Rectangles General Rule: The area of a rectangle = Length x Width Or if you like shorthand … A = L x W

  16. The school grounds has 6 fields, each 1 kilometre square. Its area is: 6 kilometre squares 6 kilometre squared 6 square kilometres 6 km ² A classroom floor can fit in 20 carpet tiles, each 1 metre square. The floor area is: 20 metre squares 20 metre squared 20 square metres 20 m ² A small chess board contains 64 centimetre squares. Its area is: 40 centimetre squares 40 centimetre squared 40 square centimetres 40 cm ² Area Units of area: ALWAYS IN SQUARES! 3 Egs

  17. Which way do you prefer? The Perimeter of a Rectangle …means - the distance around the outside and is measured by - the sum of the lengths of the 4 sides(eg: millimetres, centimetres, metres, kilometres, feet, yards) There’s lots of ways to find the perimeter… ADD 4 LENGTHS IN ORDER 10 + 6 + 10 + 6 = 32 m 10m ADD 1 LENGTH + 1 WIDTH THEN DOUBLE IT 10 + 6 = 16m 2 X 16 = 32m 6m 6m 2 LENGTHS + 2 WIDTHS = 2 X 10 + 2 X 6 = 20 + 12 = 32m 10m

  18. Perimeter Units of perimeter: Any units of length METRIC UNITS Millimetres mm Centimetres cm Kilometres km IMPERIAL UNITS Miles Yards Feet Inches

  19. The school grounds has 6 fields, each 1 kilometre square. The length of the perimeter fencing is: 10 kilometre 10 km A classroom floor can fit in 20 carpet tiles, each 1 metre square. The classroom perimeter is: 20 metres 20m A small chess board contains 64 centimetre squares. The perimeter has a brown edging: 64 centimetres long 64 cm long Perimeter 3 Egs
