eg:

Below are some activities for the weeks between LHC sessions. (your teachers will have the answers)

Area of squares and rectangles (a review) Area-of-rectangles-and-parallelograms

Cubes and cuboids (note some of the measurements are in impiral measurements but just as valid)

Circumference Circle, Diameter and Circumference
