National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 4: (4M7b) Find the area of rectilinear shapes by counting squares

Differentiation:
Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support comparing the area of squares and rectangles.
Expected Questions to support comparing the area of rectilinear shapes.
Greater Depth Questions to support comparing the area of rectilinear shapes. Some parts of the shapes take up a half, quarter or three-quarters of a grid square.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Use two clues and an image of Shape A to compare and find the possible area of Shape B on a grid. Clues reference larger and smaller.
Expected Use two clues and an image of Shape A to compare and find the possible area of Shape B on a grid. Clues reference multiples in addition to larger and smaller.
Greater Depth Use two clues and an image of Shape A to compare and find the possible area of Shape B on a grid. Shapes use whole, quarter, half and three-quarter squares and clues reference whole and half squares.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Complete the drawing of a rectangle, with a smaller or bigger area than a given value, on a grid. One side of the shape provided.
Expected Draw a rectilinear shape, with a smaller or bigger area than a given value, on a grid.
Greater Depth Draw a rectilinear shape, with a smaller or bigger area than a given value, using the stated number of whole or half squares.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain which statement is correct when comparing the area of squares and rectangles.
Expected Explain which statement is correct when comparing the area of rectilinear shapes.
Greater Depth Explain which statement is correct when comparing the area of rectilinear shapes. Shapes make use of whole, half and three-quarter squares.
