In P7 we made use of the good weather to do so practical maths outside.
We were given the task of finding the area and perimeter of the football pitch using 3 forms of measurement. We used a trundle wheel, a meter stick and our feet. We knew using our feet would be the least accurate form of measure but we wanted to explore how similar our 3 methods were.
After we recorded the length and breadth (or width) we then calculated the area and perimeter in the 3 ways mentioned. We then recorded all our groups' results on a spreadsheet and created bat graphs to compare the measurements.
