Today, Phase 3 tested their practical maths skills, measuring the perimeter and area of given 2-D shapes. They estimated the measurements first and then set about measuring the shapes, with the new tape measures – calculating lengths and area accordingly: with great success! Everyone, felt more confident by the end of the lesson. Well done everyone!

During the remainder of this week, we will explore the topic further, applying new knowledge to more calculations (even compound shapes and triangles) and solving problems too – using our ever improving reasoning skills.
