LO: Think about perimeter and area in context.
Overview: This project gets students to think about using constraints from written information to create a farm yard space. The farm also brings in the ideas of money calculation, areas and perimeters.
Suggested approach: Use the introduction PowerPoint to engage the students with the task. Once all questions have been answered each student can then be given a copy of the constraints sheet and a copy of the double-sided values sheet. Student will also need and piece of A4 centimetre squared paper and an A3 piece of paper.

I've used this one for years in my classes and the students always get so much enjoyment out of completing it. It is a great one to get them to think and to think outside of the box. It's great when a few get the little trick with it. Thank you so much
Thanks so much for uploading these!! We must certainly make maths interactive and relevant to students.
Home tutoring a LAC who lives on a farm. This is fantastic as the carers can relate more to it than pigthagoras..
Fantastic problem-solving resource. Looking forward to trying this out with my junior students. Just wondering how long I should plan for? Our periods are only 40mins long. Thank you!
Not used it yet but it looks really good and just what I was looking for to link measurement and farming +problem solving. Good to link back to our earlier work on money too. Now just need to add in something about weight of yields...
