Estimating Area WORKSHEET
Suitable for Year groups: Year 5
Learning objective: Estimate the area of irregular shapes.
Estimating Area WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Once pupils have found the area of rectilinear shapes by counting squares they can start to estimate the area of irregular shapes using the same method.
In section A, will estimate the areas of six different shapes constructed using straight, diagonal and curved edges drawn on a cm square grid and then write these areas in ascending order.
Section B is a similar task but here the shapes contain no curved edges and students are encouraged to use parts of squares to help them.
