Year 6 Shape Worksheet Bundle
A bundle of six different sets of worksheets for shape within Year 6. Each set of three differentiated worksheets that work on multiplying fractions together for Year 6 children. Having used a similar format in my own lessons, these sheets often provide enough challenge for two days lessons, with children taking on the easier work then moving on to harder challenges within the other sheets. These have all been made with mastery in mind and so follow this pattern. Worksheet One - Works on practise and fluency (LA) Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning (MA) Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (HA) Worksheet Four - Same as worksheet three as a spare for anybody who finishes problem solving Answers are included for each sheet.
Area and Perimeter
A bundle of resources linked to being able to calculate the area and perimeter of shapes.

To calculate the area of a triangle, follow the formula: ½ x base x perpendicular height. This means that when you know the base length of a triangle and the perpendicular height, multiply them both by 1/2. For example, if a triangle had a base length of 5cm and a perpendicular height of 8cm, to calculate the area of the triangle, you would do ...

The area of the rectangle is b h = 4 × 5 = 20 square units, so the area of the triangle is 1 2 b h = 1 2 × 4 × 5 = 10 square units. Key intuition: A triangle is half as big as the rectangle that surrounds it, which is why the area of a triangle is one-half base times height.

To find the area of a triangle, you need to know the length of its base (the 'bottom' of the triangle) and its height (the measurement from the base to the corner perpendicularly opposite it). Multiply the length of the base by the height, then divide by 2. To make this easier to understand, try thinking about a right-angled triangle.
