PROCEDURAL
MathematicsMeasurement|Ages 10—11|ID: mt_ML5t7n2-U8

Calculate the area of parallelograms and triangles using formulae (A = b × h for parallelograms, A = ½ × b × h for triangles)

Mastery Evidence

  • Calculate the area of a parallelogram with base 8 cm and height 5 cm
  • Calculate the area of a triangle with base 12 cm and height 7 cm
  • Explain why the area of a triangle is half the area of a related parallelogram

Assessment Prompt

“If [child] is cutting triangular pieces of cloth where the base is 8 cm and the height is 5 cm, can they use a formula to work out the area of each piece?”
