Year 5 Term 2 Unit 7
Day 2
L.O.1
To be able to use doubling to multiply two-digit numbers by 4.
To halve any two-digit number.
We are going to double these numbers:
63 18 47
52 66 39
56 27 98
77 95 41
We are going to halve these numbers:
64 78 20
52 48 66
42 74 32
50 96 22
If we halve these numbers how can
we express the answers?

L.O.2
To be able to understand area measured in square centimetres.
To understand and use the formula in words “length x breadth” for
the area of a rectangle.
cm²We used cm² to find the areas of shapes in yesterday’s lesson.
Here we have a square metre.
1metre
1metre 1m²
How many cm² are there in I square metre?
How can we work it out?
1m² = 10 000cm²
because length = 100cm.
and breadth = 100cm.
and 100cm x 100cm = 10 000cm²
1mm²Try to imagine a millimetre square
Q. How many mm² are there in 1cm²?
Q. How can we work it out?
1cm² = 100mm²
because length = 10mm
and breadth = 10mm
and 10cm x 10 cm = 100mm²
Which of the three units ( m² ,cm² , or mm²) would be best for measuring these?
1. The classroom floor.
2. An exercise book.
3. A postage stamp.
4. The playground.
5. A chocolate bar wrapper.
6. A mouse mat.
7. Your thumbnail.
.
6.1 cm
2.8 cm
The area of a rectangle is length x breadth or l x b for short.
Here the area would be 6.1 x 2.8 but it is useful first to get an
ESTIMATE Q. What is the approximate area of the rectangle?
.
6.1 cm
2.8 cm
Rounding UP and DOWN leads to an approximate area of
6 x 3 = 18cm²
Let’s try with these:
1. 1.7cm
5.9 cm
Rounding UP and DOWN leads to 6cm x 2 cm = 12cm²
3.2cm
11.8cm
2.
Rounding UP and DOWN leads to 12cm x 3 cm = 36cm²
.
With a partner complete
Activity Sheet 7.1
. In which rectangles do you think the area has been underestimated?
Using calculators we’ll check your estimates but will round part-answers to the nearest whole number.
Q. What areas of shapes in the classroom would you measure in mm², cm², or m²?
Record about a dozen altogether.
In your book draw rectangles using cm and mm and write their length and breadth. Be accurate!
Your partner must first estimate the area by rounding up or down then work out the area to the nearest whole number using a calculator.
Record both the estimate and the final answer.
Tetrahedra draw 2Spheres draw 3Prisms draw 4
Extension: measure area to two decimal points.
By the end of the lesson children should be able to:
Express the formula for the area of a rectangle first in words then in letters.
Choose a suitable unit to estimate the area.

1000g is called 1kg
Kilo means “1000 of ”
There are kilometres, kilolitres, kilowatts, kilograms and other units in “kilo”s.
Q. What do metres and kilometres measure?
Q. What do litres and kilolitres measure?
Metres and kilometres ( m and km) measure length or distance.
Litres and kilolitres ( l and kl )
measure capacity or volume.

and cl and ml which
mean centilitres and millilitres.
centi means one hundredth
milli means one thousandth.
