As Primary 4 have been learning about area, today in Forest Schools we challenged our pupils to find the area of leaves. They began by using non-standard units (such as daisies, sticks, pine cones and plant petals). Some children worked out the area of larger items using other non-standard units.
During our evaluation we talked about the need for standard units, such as squares, which we will be using in class to find the area of different shapes.
