This unit builds on previous work on area and perimeter, introducing the formula for the area of a parallelogram and for a triangle. Pupils calculate the areas from given measurements and missing measurements when given the area of a shape. They also construct shapes by plotting positions on a full coordinate grid, with simple translations and reflections. This work will be developed further in a unit focusing on plotting coordinates in different contexts.
