House Plan Area: Use Formula

Overview:

Students use a house plan to calculate the area of different parts of the property, including the house, pond, and gardens, by applying the Length x Width formula. Designed for students in years 5 and 6.

Learning Objectives:

• Calculate the area of different sections of a house plan using the Length x Width formula.
• Apply the area formula to real-world scenarios, such as properties and land features.
• Develop spatial awareness and problem-solving skills related to area measurement.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with a house plan, which includes the dimensions of different areas such as the house, pond, and gardens. They are tasked with calculating the area of each section using the Length x Width formula. For example, students will calculate the area of the house, the pond, and the total area of the gardens.
