With their mathematical thinking at the ready, the children drew around their leaves onto 1cm squared paper. After counting the number of full squares, the children counted the part squares. Realising that two part squares could make a whole, the kids then halved the number of part squares. With the number of part squares and number of full squares, we added them together to make the are of the leaf. Our maths brains worked out the equation for the area of the leaf is : F + (P/2) = A.
