Maths. We’ve looked at the relationship between rectangles, parallelograms and triangles and learned how to find the areas of each. You could ask your children to explain…
We’ve also begun to explore using algebra to express formulae (area of a rectangle = base x height, a = bh) and will be looking at algebra in greater depth over the next two weeks.
