Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g. 1 Let pupils explore the area of smaller objects say their exercise books. Then explore the area of larger objects say the entire classroom and compare the results for the two activities. Ask pupils to tell which unit (cm 2 or m 2 ) they will use for which activity and why?
