Measure areas by counting unit squares (square cm, square m, square in, square ft)
What mastery looks like
- Count unit squares to find the area of an L-shaped figure
- Measure the area of a book cover using square-centimetre tiles
- Compare areas of two shapes by counting their unit squares
Check your understanding
If Area (age 8+) draws a shape on squared centimetre paper, can they find its area by counting the squares — including making a sensible estimate for any partial squares?
