Are you looking for a clear and concise resource to teach children how to find the area of rectangles? Look no further than our Year 5 Area of Rectangles Teaching PPT.

The resource begins with a recap of factor pairs to support recall of multiplication facts later in the teaching sequence. Then, the difference between area and perimeter is clearly explained. Pupils are guided through calculating area on a square grid, using arrays to calculate area and calculating the missing length when the area is known. There is an opportunity to check understanding after each step.

A reasoning and problem solving question at the end of the resource will stretch children's understanding, help children to think more deeply about their learning and prepare them for independent work.

This resource can be used for whole-class or small-group teaching. The final slide gives links to our other resources in this small step.
