Elaboration (1) ACMMG159

establishing that the area of a triangle is half the area of an appropriate rectangle

Elaboration ACMNA152

exploring equivalence among families of fractions by using a fraction wall or a number line (for example by using a fraction wall to show that 2/3 is the same as 4/6 and 6/9)

Elaboration ACMMG159

building on the understanding of the area of rectangles to develop formulas for the area of triangles

Elaboration ACMMG217

analysing nets of cylinders to establish formulas for surface area

Elaboration ACMNA077

exploring the relationship between families of fractions (halves, quarters and eighths or thirds and sixths) by folding a series of paper strips to construct a fraction wall

Elaboration ACMNA100

exploring techniques for multiplication such as the area model, the Italian lattice method or the partitioning of numbers

Elaboration (2) ACMMG159

using area formulas for rectangles and triangles to solve problems involving areas of surfaces

Elaboration ACMNA190

applying the distributive law to the expansion of algebraic expressions using strategies such as the area model

Elaboration (1) ACMMG195

recognising that the conversion factors for area units are the squares of those for the corresponding linear units

Elaboration ACMMG197

investigating the circumference and area of circles with materials or by measuring, to establish an understanding of formulas

Elaboration (1) ACMMG197

investigating the area of circles using a square grid or by rearranging a circle divided into sectors

Elaboration ACMMG218

solving practical problems involving surface area and volume of right prisms

Elaboration (1) ACMMG271

using authentic situations to apply knowledge and understanding of surface area and volume

Elaboration (2) ACMNA157

calculating the percentage of the total local municipal area set aside for parkland, manufacturing, retail and residential dwellings to compare land use

Elaboration ACMMG216

understanding that partitioning composite shapes into rectangles and triangles is a strategy for solving problems involving area

Elaboration ACMMG273

applying knowledge of sine, cosine and area rules to authentic problems such as those involving surveying and design

Elaboration ACMMG195
