Length and Area Properties of 2D Figures

Students develop skills in measuring and calculating lengths and areas of 2D shapes. The topic covers triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and composite figures. It emphasizes the use of formulas, units, and estimation in real-life scenarios like fencing, flooring, and construction.

Learning Outcomes:

The learner should be able to:

• describe the length of two-dimensional geometrical figures.
• develop, understand and state Pythagoras’ theorem.
• apply Pythagoras’ theorem to right angled and isosceles triangles.
• understands the meaning of area in two dimensional geometrical figures.
• Use standard formulas to calculate area and perimeter of 2D shapes.
• Solve problems involving composite figures.
• Convert between different units of measurement.
• Apply length and area in real-life tasks.
• Interpret diagrams and scale drawings.
