Year 6 Area Unit

Develop secure area knowledge as Year 6 students work with rectangles, composite shapes, triangles, square units and hectares. Students also investigate the relationship between area and perimeter and apply their learning to classroom design, pixel-art and community-garden problems.

The unit combines editable PowerPoint teaching and quiz decks with a colour reference display, hands-on task cards, a classroom game, seven print-friendly worksheets, matching answers, an assessment and a marking rubric. The sequence is suitable for approximately one week of whole-class teaching and can also support maths rotations, small groups or independent practice.
