What’s included in the Year 6 Area of a Parallelogram Homework resource and why is it useful?

Year 6 Area of a Parallelogram Homework is a set of worksheets to consolidate this step after it has been taught, at home or in class. Each set has been carefully designed to help you meet each child where they are at to ensure progress for every child, not just the average child. The content includes 3 levelled worksheets and a full answer sheet, covering calculating the area of parallelograms using the formula base x perpendicular height.

Developing

• Q1 ticking the correct parallelograms. Includes the use of the formula: base x perpendicular height for some questions. Whole numbers only.
• Q2 matching the parallelograms to the correct area. Differentiation as described for Question 1.
• Q3 finding the potential base and perpendicular height for a parallelogram. Differentiation as described for Question 1.

Expected

• Q4 ticking the correct parallelograms. Includes the use of the formula: base x perpendicular height for some questions. Includes some conversions (mm to cm) and some decimals (halves only). Children to select the base and perpendicular height from given measurements.
• Q5 matching the parallelograms to the correct area. Differentiation as described for Question 4.
• Q6 finding the potential base and perpendicular heights for two parallelograms. Differentiation as described for Question 4.

Greater Depth

• Q7 ticking the correct parallelograms. Includes the use of the formula: base x perpendicular height for some questions. Includes some conversions (mm to cm, cm to m and mm to m) and some decimals (halves and tenths). Children to select the base and perpendicular height from given measurements.
• Q8 matching the parallelograms to the correct area. Differentiation as described for Question 7.
• Q9 finding the potential base and perpendicular heights for two parallelograms. Differentiation as described for Question 7.

How do our maths homework resources work?

Our maths homework resources are not part of our adaptive maths resources, but they can be used alongside for consolidation purposes and to give children more opportunities to practise.
