National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 5: (5M7b) Calculate and compare the area of rectangles (including squares), and including using standard units, square centimetres (cm2) and square metres (m2) and estimate the area of irregular shapes

Differentiation:

The answers given for this resource are based on counting full squares (or near full squares) and then matching part squares to make whole squares. Your pupils may have different answers to those given by us, but if they can explain how they have reached their answer, accept it as correct. The Teaching PPT includes examples of this on each answer slide.

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support finding the approximate area of irregular shapes where each square represents 1cm² or m².
Expected Questions to support finding the approximate area of irregular shapes where each square represents 2, 3, 4 or 5cm² or m².
Greater Depth Questions to support finding the approximate area of irregular shapes where each square represents 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5cm² or m².

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Calculate how much larger a smaller shape would need to be to equal the area of another shape. Grid squares represent 1cm² or m².
Expected Calculate how much larger a smaller shape would need to be to equal the area of another shape. Grid squares represent 2, 3, 4 or 5cm² or m².
Greater Depth Calculate how much larger a smaller shape would need to be to equal the area of another shape. Grid squares represent 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5cm² or m².

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain whether an estimated area is correct. Grid squares represent 1cm² or m².
Expected Explain whether an estimated area is correct. Grid squares represent 2, 3, 4 or 5cm² or m².
Greater Depth Explain whether an estimated area is correct. Grid squares represent 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5cm² or m².

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Problem Solving)
Developing Draw an irregular shape of a given approximate area. Grid squares represent 1cm² or m².
Expected Draw an irregular shape of a given approximate area. Grid squares represent 2, 3, 4 or 5cm² or m².
Greater Depth Draw an irregular shape of a given approximate area. Grid squares represent 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5cm² or m².
