Our Rectangle Shape

WALT use  non-standard measures to find the area of a shape



In this photo we made a shape and made an estimation of how many people could fit sitting inside the shape. We were trying to find out the area of our shape using our body. This is a non standard unit of measure. A non standard unit of measure is not the same size.  








In this photo we wrote down our
estimate and checked our answer.

I was wrong because I said that six people would fit in the area of the shape, but the right answer was eight.

I know I have learnt this when I can draw my shape, estimate and check.
