This set of cards has been designed for use with MAB Base 10 blocks.
Students can cover each shape with 1cm3 blocks to determine the area of the shape. They can compare the areas of regular and irregular shapes by covering the two areas.
Recognise ways of measuring and approximating the perimeter and area of shapes and enclosed spaces, using appropriate formal and informal units
Compare the areas of regular and irregular shapes by informal means
Compare the areas of regular and irregular shapes by informal means
Calculate the perimeter and area of rectangles and the volume and capacity of prisms using familiar metric units
Uses appropriate terminology to describe, and symbols to represent, mathematical ideas
Selects and uses appropriate mental or written strategies, or technology, to solve problems
Checks the accuracy of a statement and explains the reasoning used
Measures, records, compares and estimates areas using square centimetres and square metres
Represents and uses the structure of multiplicative relations to 10 × 10 to solve problems
Completes number sentences involving multiplication and division by finding missing values
Represents and compares halves, quarters, thirds and fifths as lengths on a number line and their related fractions formed by halving (eighths, sixths and tenths)
Uses grid maps and directional language to locate positions and follow routes
Measures and estimates lengths in metres, centimetres and millimetres
Identifies angles and classifies them by comparing to a right angle
Compares two-dimensional shapes and describes their features
Performs transformations by combining and splitting two-dimensional shapes
Estimates, measures and compares areas using square centimetres and square metres
