This week, we introduced the concept of area - the space inside a shape. We explored open and closed shapes and discussed how paint would pour straight out of an open shape!

We compared the area of a range of pieces of fabric and ordered them from those with the largest area to the smallest. Take notice of the surface area of your dinner table at home - I wonder how many books could fit in it...
