National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 4: (4M7b) Find the area of rectilinear shapes by counting squares

Mathematics Year 5: (5M7b) Calculate and compare the area of rectangles (including squares), and including using standard units, square centimetres (cm2) and square metres (m2) and estimate the area of irregular shapes

Differentiation for Year 4 Comparing Area:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support comparing the area of squares and rectangles. Each square on the grid has an area of 1cm2.
Expected Questions to support comparing the area of rectilinear shapes. Each square on the grid has an area of 1cm2.
Greater Depth Questions to support comparing the area of rectilinear shapes. Includes comparing shapes on grids where one has 1cm2 squares and the other has 2cm2 squares.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Use two clues and an image of Shape A to compare and find the possible area of Shape B on a grid where each square has an area of 1cm2.
Expected Use four clues to compare and find the possible area of Shape A and B on a grid where each square has an area of 1cm2.
Greater Depth Use four clues to compare and find the possible area of Shape A and B. Includes comparing shapes on grids where one has 1cm2 squares and the other has 2cm2 squares.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Complete the drawing of a rectangle, with a smaller or bigger area than a given value, on a grid where each square has an area of 1cm2.
Expected Draw a rectilinear shape, with a smaller or bigger area than a given value, on a grid where each square has an area of 1cm2.
Greater Depth Draw a rectilinear shape, with a smaller or bigger area than a given value, and a smaller or bigger number of given sides, on a grid where each square has an area of 2cm2.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain which statement comparing the area of squares and rectangles is correct. Each square on the grid has an area of 1cm2.
Expected Explain which statement comparing the area of rectilinear shapes is correct. Each square on the grid has an area of 1cm2.
Greater Depth Explain which statement comparing the area of rectilinear shapes is correct. Includes comparing shapes on grids where one has 1cm2 squares and the other has 2cm2 squares.

Differentiation for Year 5 Area of Irregular Shapes:
Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support finding the approximate area of irregular shapes where each square represents 1cm² or m².
Expected Questions to support finding the approximate area of irregular shapes where each square represents 2, 3, 4 or 5cm² or m².
Greater Depth Questions to support finding the approximate area of irregular shapes where each square represents 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5cm² or m².

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Finding the approximate area of an irregular shape where each square represents 1cm² or m² and the image is on the grid lines.
Expected Finding the approximate area of an irregular shape where each square represents 2, 3, 4 or 5cm² or m² and the image sits between the grid lines.
Greater Depth Finding the approximate area of an irregular shape where each square represents 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5cm² or m² and the image sits between the grid lines with varying orientation.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Reasoning)
Developing Identify and explain mistakes when finding the approximate area of an irregular shape where each square represents 1cm² or m². The image will sit on the grid lines.
Expected Identify and explain mistakes when finding the approximate area of an irregular shape where each square represents 2, 3, 4 or 5cm² or m². The image will sit between the grid lines.
Greater Depth Identify and explain mistakes when finding the approximate area of an irregular shape where each square represents 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5cm² or m². The image will sit between the grid lines and the orientation will be different.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Problem Solving)
Developing Draw an irregular shaped object with a given area (approximately) where each square represents 1cm² or m².
Expected Draw an irregular shaped object with a given area (approximately), where each square represents 2, 3, 4 or 5cm² or m².
Greater Depth Draw an irregular shaped object with a given area (approximately), where each square represents 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5cm² or m².
