The student can calculate the area of a rectangle. See ACMMG137 above. Activities 5, 6 and 7 Worksheets 5, 6 and 7 The student selects and accurately measures the length and width of a variety of rectangles and correctly calculates the areas. The student selects and measures the length and width of a variety of rectangles and calculates the areas. Occasional inaccuracies and errors are corrected with little or no assistance. The student requires teacher guidance to select and measure the length and width of a rectangle. The use of concrete materials may be required to support calculation of area. The student can determine the minimum and maximum areas enclosed by a given length of fencing. See ACMMG137 above. Activity 5 Worksheet 5 The student works independently to explore the concept of varying area in relation to perimeter. A correct, written solution is fully justified. The student attempts to explore the concept of varying area in relation to perimeter but is incorrect or may not reach a solution. Some attempt at written justification is provided. The student requires significant teacher guidance to understand the concept and attempt any working. The student can solve and report on real-life problems using perimeter and area. See ACMMG137 above. Activity 7 Worksheet 7 The student designs (and constructs) an appropriate chicken coop that makes best use of materials and meets the given area requirement. The student clearly and thoroughly justifies all working with diagrams, calculations and written explanations. The student designs (and constructs) a chicken coop that attempts to make best use of materials and meet the given area requirement. The student attempts to justify some working with diagrams, calculations and written explanations, which may be incorrect, unclear or incomplete. The student requires teacher assistance to modify a design for a chicken coop to meet the given area requirement.
