LENGTH
Objectives By the end of this section, students should be able to: Calculate perimeter of regular shapes (triangle, square, rectangle, kite) Solve simple word problems involving perimeter in real life situation Calculate area of regular shapes (triangles, square, rectangle and kite) Solve simple word problems on real life contexts
Relating Recap to today’s lesson Last time, we learnt about length measurement, measuring tools and the units used Today we will learn about application of length in Perimeter & Area
