    Solve practical problems involving the perimeter and area of regular and irregular shapes using appropriate metric units <ul> <li>investigating problem situations involving perimeter, for example, ‘How many metres of fencing are required around a paddock, or around a festival event?’</li> <li>using efficient ways to calculate the perimeters of rectangles, such as adding the length and width together and doubling the result</li> <li>solving measurement problems such as ‘How much carpet would be needed to cover the entire floor of the classroom?’, using square metre templates to directly measure the floor space</li> <li>creating a model of a permaculture garden, dividing the area up to provide the most efficient use of space for gardens and walkways, labelling the measure of each area, and calculating the amount of resources needed, for example, compost to cover the vegetable garden</li> <li>using a physical geoboard or a virtual geoboard app to recognise the relationship between area and perimeter and solve problems; for example, investigating what is the largest and what is the smallest area that has the same perimeter</li> <li>exploring the designs of fishing nets and dwellings of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, investigating the perimeter, area and purpose of the shapes within the designs</li> </ul>

    Establish the formula for the area of a rectangle and use it to solve practical problems <ul> <li>using the relationship between the length and area of square units and the array structure to derive a formula for calculating the area of a rectangle from the lengths of its sides</li> <li>using one-centimetre grid paper to construct a variety of rectangles, recording the side lengths and the related areas of the rectangles in a table to establish the formula for the area of a rectangle by recognising the relationship between the length of the sides and its calculated area</li> <li>solving problems involving the comparison of lengths and areas using appropriate units</li> <li>investigating the connection between the perimeters of different rectangles with the same area and between the areas of rectangles with the same perimeter</li> </ul>
