Calculating the area of different shapes can be tough for Year 9 students.

The formulas for finding the area might look simple, but using them correctly is often tricky.

Here are some important formulas to remember:

1. Square: Area = side × side
2. Rectangle: Area = length × width
3. Triangle: Area = ½ × base × height
4. Circle: Area = π × radius × radius

Many students find it hard to figure out what measurements they need. They also have trouble remembering the steps to follow when using these formulas.

To make it easier, practice with different shapes. Using pictures can help a lot too!

Also, try breaking the problems into smaller parts. This can make it simpler to understand and help students get comfortable with these important formulas.
