Area & perimeter

Hi bloggers this is Thom, today I am going to tell you about what we have been doing in maths recently. So last week we started an exciting topic in maths called Area and Perimeter.  So to get the area of something you have to cut the shape into even shapes so if it were a square you would just halve it and then you figure out the length of two of the lines in that shape. After that you times them by each other and you do that for every shape, finally you add up all the numbers and that is you're area. When I was doing this I got a bit confused with one of the shapes but I kept going so I ended answering it.

Here is a photo from one of the slides.
