Use this Year 5 Calculate Area of Rectangles Reasoning and Problem Solving resource to give your pupils an opportunity to solve problems related to finding the area of rectangles.

There are two reasoning questions and one problem solving question on this worksheet. The reasoning questions require pupils to look with a careful eye to identify if an answer is correct and explain their thinking. In the problem solving question, they will develop a firm understanding that rectangles with the same area can have different dimensions.

The questions on this worksheet are split over two pages with the answers being provided on a single page.

A varied fluency resource and a fluency matrix resource are also available for this small step.
