Maths: Measuring Area

This is a very busy week in Stromness Primary School but P2 have done very well so far to keep focused and learn something new.  We are learning about how to measure area.  We have started today by finding the area of a sheet of paper using some flat shapes.  At the end of this activity children were able to say that circles were not a good way to measure area because they left too many gaps but squares were good.  Here are Primary 2 having a go at measuring area.

Lots of concentration!
