Know it

Area tells us how much surface a shape covers, and we can measure it by counting full and partial squares on a grid.

Quick revision

Remember these!

Area tells us how much surface a shape covers.
We count grid squares to find area.
Rectangles' area equals the total squares inside.
Partial squares can be combined to estimate area.
This method builds a foundation for area formulas.
Length x width is a formula for rectangle area.
Grid counting makes area a hands-on concept.
Area is measured in square units, like square centimetres.

See the pattern

For simple shapes on a grid, like rectangles, we count the total number of squares inside the shape to find its area.

3

Try it out

For shapes with partial squares, we can estimate by counting full squares as 1 and combining partial squares that together make roughly a full square.

4

Know it

Understanding area through grid counting builds a foundation for learning area formulas, like length x width for rectangles, in more detail later.
