Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Division is used to calculate a missing dimension when the area and the other dimension are known.
- Inverse operations are used to calculate missing dimensions when areas are known.
- Compare different methods to decompose shapes and decide which is the most efficient.
Common misconception
