measurement: • perimeter of rectangles • unit conversion (mm,cm,m,km) • pi (= circum. / diam.) • circumference • diam, rad, sector • area of rectangles, combined rectangles and triangles • area of triangle = half area of rectangle
- distinguishing perimeter (adding) and area (multiplying) - understanding what units to use, eg. m for length(perimeter)/1D or m^2 for area/2D or m^3 for volume/3D - remember: pi is just the circumference divided by the diameter for any circle, and it is always the same ratio no matter how big the circle is (which is amazing!)

- keep working on assessment - find out correct measurements for pt 1 before Friday
• continued working on pt2 • worked on pt3 (extension) made good progress with this

the plan was to redo pt1 but there was a misunderstanding and the measurements weren't corrected
- Maddie did/attempted pt3 (of 3) of the assessment too (which is the extension / optional part), so that's great - work on indices (powers) went well

- pt 1 (of 3) on Maddie's assessment was a bit wonky, as Maddie misunderstood the shape of the garden bed (2 rectangles glued together) and only calculated the area, volume, etc, of one of them :( We then went over this and practiced similar questions to reinforce how to do this. - remember: calculate area / volume of each rectangle separately, then add them together
