Task Cards Students work independently on task cards
Perimeter # 20 cards Area # 20 Cards Perimeter and Area # 8 cards Teaching Ideas: Numeracy Rotational activity (small groups) students work on task cards and record how many they have completed, every week during numeracy rotations. Fast-Finisher activity (independent) students work on these task cards if they have completed the set work, this ensures that all students are working and not distracting others.

Curriculum: Australian Curriculum Mathematics (Measurement and Geometry) Year 4 Compare the areas of regular and irregular shapes by informal means - ACMMG087 Compare objects using familiar metric units of area and volume - ACMMG290 Year 5 Calculate the perimeter and area of rectangles using familiar metric units - ACMMG109 Year 6 - Solve problems involving the comparison of lengths and areas using appropriate units - ACMMG137 Robot Invasion Directions: This set of task cards is designed to engage students by having them demonstrate their ability to find the Area and Perimeter while stimulating their own creativity. 1. Students work independently work on a task card creating their robot. 2. Students are able to decorate their robots after they have created them. Teaching Ideas: Concluding activity (Whole Class) Students complete this activity at the end of a lesson, demonstrating their knowledge of Perimeter and Area. Numeracy Rotation Activity (Small groups) Students work on this task during numeracy rotations.

Teaching Ideas: Numeracy Rotation activity (Pairs) Students play the game during rotational activities. Extension activity (Pairs) Students who require extending will benefit form playing this game as it requires them to use their brains to think of the answers rather than using a calculator.
