To begin with, a few weeks ago, I
taught some children in 4CD maths class about perimeter and area. First, I
explained I was finding it hard and I had to have extra help with Miss Bedford,
who is my maths teacher. I went home, feeling unhappy about the topic. I told
my mum about it and, luckily, she offered to help me with it. My hopes were raised
and I skipped downstairs to get a pad and pen. From that day on, I was
confident in maths and did two PowerPoints on the topic!

My theme of the lesson
for 4CD was the Lego movie, and I gave the children some Lego to help them.

| Calculating the area of Lego shapes |
We
did questions such as “Emmet built a car. All the lengths were 4cm. What was
the perimeter and what was the area?”. After we did that, I asked if anybody
knew that perimeter and area was part of maths before I gave the lesson and
nobody put their hands up. I then asked who knew it now; guess what, everybody
put their hand up! It was the best day of my life!!!
