Active MathsWe took advantage of the recent good weather and took our Maths class outdoors. Firstly we used cardboard and tape to construct square metres. We then used these square metres to measure the area of shapes drawn on the tarmac. We then learned the formula for measuring area and used metre sticks and trundle wheels to calculate the area of the basketball court, junior yard, field and hall.
