Maths LO: To estimate the area of irregular shapes.

Here is an irregular shape. We can estimate the area by counting squares.

First, count the whole squares. There are 4 whole squares. Next, count the squares which are half filled or more than half filled. There is 1 square filled half or more. Do not count the squares that are less than half filled. Add the whole squares and half-filled squares together: 4 + 1 = 5 squares The area of this shape is approximately 5 squares.

Here is another irregular shape. We can estimate the area by counting squares in the same way.

Here is an irregular shape without any straight edges at all. We can still estimate the area by counting squares!
