Begin your lesson on finding area by counting squares by using our Year 4 Make Shapes Modelling PowerPoint. We've created a range of different varied fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions for you children to work through. These questions support the types of questions you might find on our accompanying varied fluency, reasoning and problem-solving worksheets.

This would be a great way to kick-start your lesson by showing children how you can answer the question types, so they build their confidence before attempting their independent learning. Alternatively, this could be used in a small group, adult-led session to offer further support or as an additional challenge for children.
