Maths Today: Area

Today we were looking at filling in an area with shapes. Often when children draw pictures, they do lines for arms, legs and sun rays. Children are aware of lines but are not always aware of the area between lines. In this activity, internal areas can be filled with different shapes a little like a geometric jigsaw puzzle. As long as all the white area is covered inside the shape, there is no one correct way to be successful. We really enjoyed this challenge today. Area on PhotoPeach
