That age-old question 'What is area?' will continue to be explored with this Year 4 What is Area? Reasoning and Problem Solving resource. A step up from the varied fluency, this resource embeds skills such as counting squares to find the area using different contexts.

The resource is differentiated three ways, as follows:

Developing: Questions based on the area of a square or rectangle.

Expected: Finding the area of a rectilinear shape of up to 6 sides using the given shapes as a reference.

Greater Depth: Finding the area of a rectilinear shape of up to 8 sides using the given shapes as a reference.
