1. You will learn the difference between solid shapes and plane shapes.
2. You will observe and identify squares and rectangles all over our
classroom.
3. You will learn what’s the difference between a rectangle and a
square.
4. You will learn the properties of plane shapes such as sides and
corners.
5. You will learn that the point where two sides meet is called a corner.
6. You will learn to measure lengths widths.

Homework – Your Bedroom
1. – Measure your bedroom.
. How many meters does the length (long side) measure? ----------
. How many meters does the width (short side) measure? ----------
. Is your room a square? Yes, it is / No, it isn’t.
. Is your room a rectangle? Yes, it is / No, it isn’t.
2. - Now, you can calculate the perimeter of your room (in case your room is a
square, you must draw it here).
a
a a

Session 5 - Worksheet 5
Group Project: A Room at School
At school we want to renovate the floor and put down new tiles and a new
baseboard.
TILES BASEBOARD
We have 8 equal size classrooms, a computer room, a music classroom, a
support classroom, an English classroom, a staff room and the boys’ toilets
and girls’ toilets.
Each group is in charge of measuring one of these rooms. Two students will
be in charge of measuring and the third student has to note the
measurements down.
Your group has assigned the room:
.............................................................................................................................
Tasks:
1. Your group has to show a drawing of the room with the measurements.
2. Your group has to calculate the area and the perimeter of your assigned
room.
3. Your group has to say how many square meters of tiles are needed and
how many meters of baseboard are needed.
4. Finally, your group has to share the information with the rest of the class by
a poster.
