Area and Perimeter

Description

This example demonstrates finding the area of a rectangle using a grid. The image shows a rectangle overlaid on a grid, where each square represents one unit of area. To find the area, count the total number of squares within the rectangle. This method visually illustrates the concept of area as the amount of space inside a shape. The specific skills involved include counting units, understanding the concept of area, and applying the formula: Area = Length x Width. This example helps students visualize how area is calculated and reinforces the understanding of multiplication as repeated addition.
