Measuring Area
An animation from the BBC covering the concept of area, and different ways to measure and calculate the area of rectangles, triangles and composite shapes.
2D Shape Reveal
An interactive whiteboard resource to help with the teaching and learning of the names and properties of 2D shapes.
Interactive Teaching Program on Area
This interactive teaching tool can be used in a variety of mathematical contexts such as multiplication arrays, finding different shapes with the same area, nets and more. It is useful because there are different backgrounds such as dots.
Area and Perimeter of Rectangles
A teaching tool to help the understanding of area and perimeter of rectangles. Both area and perimeter can be shown or hidden. The resource works well on an interactive whiteboard.
Area Builder
A fabulous teaching aid and learning game site on areas, perimeter and fractions of shapes. You can toggle between one or two display areas which is useful if you want to compare different shapes.
Finding the Area of Compound Shapes
A good site on finding the area of a shape based on rectangles on a grid. Estimate first and then compare with the actual area of the shape. Good as an IWB demo tool for teaching how to apply the formula to compound shapes based on rectangles.
Classifying Triangles by Angles and Sides
A video tutorial from PBS on how to classify triangles according to angle measurements and side lengths. It is likely to appeal to pupils because it is presented by a student.
Area Perimeter Explorer
Create your own shapes with blocks and explore the relationship between perimeter and area. A useful teaching tool for demonstrating irregular shapes.
Home Improvement
A tutorial which explains how to find the area of squares and rectangles. There are examples for you to try to work out.
Area and Perimeter
A teaching tool for demonstrating area and perimeter on an interactive whiteboard. Drag out rectangles to show different examples.
