Mathematics 4
SS4.2
Demonstrate an understanding of area of regular and irregular 2-D shapes by:
- recognizing that area is measured in square units
- selecting and justifying referents for the units cm² or m²
- estimating area by using referents for cm² or m²
- determining and recording area (cm² or m²)
- constructing different rectangles for a given area (cm² or m²) in order to demonstrate that many different rectangles may have the same area.
[C, CN, ME, PS, R, V]
Indicators for this outcome
| (a) |
Describe area as the measure of surface recorded in square units. |
| (b) |
Identify and explain why the square is a most efficient unit for measuring area. |
| (c) |
Provide a referent for a square centimetre and explain the choice. |
| (d) |
Provide a referent for a square metre and explain the choice. |
| (e) |
Determine which standard square unit is represented by a referent. |
| (f) |
Estimate the area of a 2-D shape using personal referents. |
| (g) |
Determine the area of a regular 2-D shape and explain the strategy used. |
| (h) |
Determine the area of an irregular 2-D shape and explain the strategy used. |
| (i) |
Construct a rectangle with a given area. |
| (j) |
Illustrate, and verify, how more than one rectangle is possible for a given area by drawing at least two different rectangles with that area (e.g., identifying the dimensions of each rectangle drawn, or superimpose the rectangles on each other). |
