REFLECTION

Find somewhere peaceful and quiet. Relax and

let your mind be still. Focus on the sounds of

your breath.

Now lets consider…

▪ Think about a favourite book, what makes it

special to you?

▪ How could you make more time for reading?

▪ Would it be good to encourage others to read

more too?

Spend a couple of moments thinking about this and

then write down your thoughts and if you want, share

this back with your teacher, friends or family.

How do we calculate the Area of a triangle Well we know how to work out the area of a rectangle so

(1) Complete the rectangle (look at the pink lines)

(2) We know how to work out this area b x h

(3) The triangle takes up ½ of thespace the rectangle takes up so we then half the area of the rectangle

We can then use the formula

Area of a Triangle = ½ x b x h

1/2 x 8 x 3 = 12
