Area

We are learning about area in maths.

Mrs Ware asked us how many people did we think would be able to stand in 1 square metre. We took a guess and then she drew a square metre on the mat with the chalk and we saw how many would fit. 9 people easy, and 15 in a squeeze.

Then we had to try and figure out how many square metres we would need for the whole class.

This is how most of us figured it out

1 sq m              +           1 sq m              +              1 sq m                             3 sq m
9 people                       9 people                           9 people              =          27 people
