WALT use non-standard measures to find the area of a shape. A non-standard unit of measure is something you can use measure the area, but it can be different shapes and sizes. Mrs Richardson told us to draw our own shapes in the playground with chalk. We drew the shape, then we estimated that 4 students will be able to sit in it, and we were correct. I know when I have used non-standard measures to find the area by estimating it. These are the pictures we took of the chalk and when we were inside:
In this photo we made and made an estimation of how many people could fit sitting inside the shape. We were trying to find out the area of our shape using our bodies. This is a non standard unit of measure. A non standard unit of measure is something that you can use to measure something, but it is a different shapes and sizes.
We were right! We estimated that 4 students could fit
in the area of our shape.
