Getting Your Formulae in Shape/teaching approach

This resource provides an opportunity for some revision of shape formulae - perimeter, area, and volume. It encourages pupils to engage in effectivereasoning^(ta), and group talk^(ta), and could be used as an effective assessment^(ta) tool. The task could be differentiated^(ta), or extended for a whole class by cutting the 'formulae' lines off the bottom of each hexagon, and asking students to match these to the shapes, prior to matching the shapes to the formulae type.
