📏 Topic: Area (Squares, Rectangles)

📖 What the Section Is About

In this section, students learn how to find the area of squares and rectangles. The area tells how much space is inside a shape, measured in square units. Students will practice using formulas and solving real-world problems involving area.

🎯 Learning Objectives

✅ Understand what “area” means in geometry
✅ Identify and label the length and width of squares and rectangles
✅ Use the formula for area: length × width
✅ Solve problems involving area in square units
✅ Apply area formulas to real-life situations

🧮 Examples

• A square with a side length of 5 cm has an area of 5 × 5 = 25 cm²

• A rectangle with a length of 8 m and width of 3 m has an area of 8 × 3 = 24 m²

• A rug measuring 4 ft by 6 ft has an area of 24 ft²

📘 Key Vocabulary and Definitions

• Area – the amount of space inside a shape

• Square units – units used to measure area (e.g., cm², m², ft²)

• Length – how long something is

• Width – how wide something is

• Formula – a rule or equation used to solve a problem
