Area - triangles, quadrilaterals, compound shapes
-
problemCan you help the children find the two triangles which have the lengths of two sides numerically equal to their areas? -
-
problemFavouriteIsometric areas
We usually use squares to measure area, but what if we use triangles instead?
-
problemFavouriteTilted squares
It's easy to work out the areas of most squares that we meet, but what if they were tilted?
-
problemFavouriteIsosceles triangles
Draw some isosceles triangles with an area of $9$cm$^2$ and a vertex at (20,20). If all the vertices must have whole number coordinates, how many is it possible to draw?
-
problemFavouriteGrowing rectangles
What happens to the area and volume of 2D and 3D shapes when you enlarge them?
-
-
problemFavouriteCompleting quadrilaterals
We started drawing some quadrilaterals - can you complete them?
-
problemFavouriteMore isometric areas
Isometric Areas explored areas of parallelograms in triangular units. Here we explore areas of triangles...
-
problemFavouriteShear magic
Explore the area of families of parallelograms and triangles. Can you find rules to work out the areas?
