Students following the Higher strand will have met the formulae for the area of a trapezium in Year 7; this knowledge is now extended to all students, along with the formula for the area Of a circle. A key aspect of the unit is choosing and using the correct formula for the correct shape, reinforcing recognising the shapes, their properties and names and looking explicitly at compound shapes. National Curriculum content covered includes: - derive and apply formulae to calculate and solve problems involving: perimeter and area Of triangles, parallelograms, trapezia - calculate and solve problems involving: perimeters Of 2-1) shapes (including circles), areas of circles and composite shapes
