With this Year 6 Area of a Right-Angled Triangle Discussion Problem, you can give your children two in-depth questions about finding the area of right-angled triangles where they have to use reasoning and problem-solving skills to find the answers. Children are also encouraged to discuss their answers and methods of working with their peers to compare and contrast different ways of working.

Use as part of your lesson after our Modelling PPT, Varied Fluency, and Reasoning and Problem Solving resources to make sure children have a deep enough understanding of finding the area of triangles before they move on to these tricky questions.
