This is an introductory unit for students beginning to conceptualise the mathematical principles behind our understanding of shape and measurements. The programme is aimed at Key Stage 2 students (ages 7 – 9) who already have experience using rulers, are competently able to add and subtract mentally, know the names of shapes and can multiply and divide using written methods. Students will also develop an understanding of how to systematically solve word problems, as well as the logical principles and deeper skills required to solve problems with incomplete data sets. By the end of the course, students will be able to work out the perimeter of any linear shape with any number of sides. This will provide the perfect basis for moving on to the area.
