Use this Year 5 Calculate Area of Rectangles Varied Fluency resource to help your students progress from counting squares to using the length and width to calculate area.

The three fluency questions move children in easy steps towards using a formula to calculate area, although the formula itself is not introduced at this stage.

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

A fluency matrix and a reasoning and problem solving resource are also available for this small step.
