Finding the area of objects takes a lot of maths skill! You need to be able to measure accurately, know how to find an area and then use multiplication - sometimes even of three digit numbers! The children have all done very well with being able to find the area of rectilinear shapes. ### MS Maths 03.02.23 [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2495.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2495.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2497.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2497.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2499.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2499.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2501.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2501.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2502.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2502.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2504.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2504.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2505.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2505.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2506.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2506.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2507.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2507.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2510.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2510.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2511.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/ms-maths-03-02-23/IMG_2511.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_2464.JPG)](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2023-02-03-15-14-15-author-visit) Previous ### [Author Visit!](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2023-02-03-15-14-15-author-visit) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_2455.JPG)](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2023-02-03-15-44-37-the-broken-washing-machine) Next ### [The Broken Washing Machine](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2023-02-03-15-44-37-the-broken-washing-machine) ##### Location Preston Road Inskip Preston Lancashire PR4 0TT ##### Contact Us 01772 690438 © Copyright 2025–2026 Inskip St Peter's C of E (Aided) Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
