Area Pixel Art

We have been learning about area and perimeter. For this task we had to make some pixel art in a google sheet.  We then had to calculate the area of our artwork and of each colour we used. One square was equal to 1cm 2 the total area of my pixel art which is Mario was 141 cm 2 and the perimeter was 47 cm.    Here are my other area calculations.

 

Classroom Area

This week we are learning to calculate the area of a variety of shapes.  For one of our investigations we had to create a to scale plan in jam board. This is a drawing of our classroom. We have done measurements of the room and tables.  We then calculated the area of everything and drew this to scale plan on jam board.  

 

Hand Perimeter Challenge

This is how big my hand is. The perimeter of my hand is 100.3 cm and I have the biggest hands in the class.  To measure the perimeter of my hand I first drew around my hand.  I then measured how long a pipe cleaner was and then wrapped it around my hand silhouette more than once to get my answer.
