Teaching guide

What students learn

Represent and approximate composite shapes and objects in the environment by combining familiar shapes and objects.

How to teach it

Sort and name 2D and 3D shapes by their properties (sides, angles, faces), then build up to perimeter (add the sides) and area (cover with unit squares).

Worked example
Find the area.
Answer: 187
Why: 11 × 17 = 187

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Confusing perimeter and area, and judging a shape by its orientation rather than its properties.
