A non standard unit of measure by Vine

WALT use  non-standard measures to find the area of a shape

I know that I can do this because the photos show my group finding out the area of our shape.

In this photo we made a shape and made an estimation of how many people could fit sitting inside the shape. We were trying to find out the area of our shape using our body. This is a non standard unit of measure. A non standard unit of measure is your body.

 

In this photo we lay down inside the shape

and see how much people who can fit inside the shape. In my group we decided if the

shape could fit 5 people but we were wrong it was 7 people.
