Area is the number of square units needed to cover a flat surface.Some Metric Units for measuring area are square centimeter,
square decimeter, or square meter.
Find the area of the a figure by counting the shaded squares.
1 square unit
= 6 square cm
Sometimes you need to count half squares to find the area of a figure.1 whole square + 2 half squares
2 half squares = 1 whole square1 + 1 = 2 square units
Sometimes you need to estimate the area of a figure.4 whole squares + 4 almost whole squares + 4 about half squares
4 half squares = 2 whole squares4 + 4 + 2 = about 10 square units
