National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 6: (6M7b) Calculate the area of parallelograms and triangles

Mathematics Year 6: (6M7c) Recognise when it is possible to use formulae for the area of shapes

Differentiation:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support calculating the area of a triangle using the formula: base x height ÷ 2. Triangles are right-angled and isosceles and only the base and height are labelled. Only whole numbers are used. Some composite shapes made up of up to 2 triangles are included.
Expected Questions to support calculating the area of a variety of triangles, with different orientations, using the formula: base x height ÷ 2. Children to select the base and height from given measurements. Calculations involve some conversion (mm to cm). Whole numbers only. Some composite shapes made up of up to 3 triangles are included.
Greater Depth Questions to support calculating the area of a variety of triangles, with different orientations, using the formula: base x height ÷ 2. Children to work out the base and height from given measurements. Calculations involve some whole and half numbers and some conversion (mm to cm and cm to m). Some composite shapes made up of up to 3 triangles are included.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Reasoning)
Developing Agree or disagree with a given statement and explain why. Triangles are right-angled and isosceles and only the base and height are labelled. Whole numbers only. Some composite shapes made up of up to 2 triangles are included.
Expected Agree or disagree with a given statement and explain why. Children to select the base and height from given measurements. Whole numbers only.
Greater Depth Agree or disagree with a given statement and explain why. Children to select the base and height from given measurements. Calculations involve some half numbers and some conversion (mm to cm and cm to m).

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Find the area of a composite shape made up of 2 triangles. Triangles are right-angled and isosceles and only the base and height are labelled. Whole numbers only.
Expected Find the area of a composite shape made up of 3 triangles. Children to select the base and height from given measurements. Whole numbers only.
Greater Depth Find the area of a composite shape made up of 3 triangles. Children to select the base and height from given measurements. Calculations involve some half numbers and some conversion (mm to cm and cm to m).

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Problem Solving)
Developing Given the area of a triangle, work out the possible base and height measurement combinations using the given digit cards. Whole numbers only.
Expected Given the area of a composite shape, section the shape into 3 triangles and work out the possible base and height measurement of each one. Whole numbers only.
Greater Depth Given the area of a composite shape, section the shape into 3 triangles and work out the possible base and height measurement of each one. Calculations involve some half numbers and some conversion (mm to cm and cm to mm).
