ICSE Class 7 Maths, Unit 5: Mensuration
From the CISCE curriculum. 2 key concepts, about 1 day of study at 20 to 30 minutes a day.
What this unit aims at
This theme will focus on developing children’s understanding and ability on measurement of area, volume and capacity. This begins with children finding rules/ forming formulae for standard figures like cube, cuboid, cylinder etc. The major focus will be on finding the area of 2-D shapes and surface area of 3-D shapes. It is also expected that children will be able to learn to write measurement in smaller and larger units with conversion.
Your child should be able to
- measure approximate area of simple regular and irregular closed shapes by using unit square grid sheet
- form formulae to find area of the region enclosed in a rectangle and a square as a better way of counting the number of unit squares that fill them completely
Key concepts in this unit
- Revision of perimeter and Idea of Circumference of Circle
- Area Concept of measurement using a basic unit area of a square, rectangle, triangle, parallelogram and circle, rings and combined figures.
