Measuring Area with Square Tiles

The video tutorial explains how to measure the area of shapes using square units. It introduces the concept of area as the space inside an object and demonstrates how to use square tiles to cover the entire inside of a shape to determine its area. Several examples are provided, showing how to count the number of tiles to calculate the area of different figures. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the methods taught for measuring area.

What does the area of an object represent?

• The perimeter of the object

• The space inside the object

• The volume of the object

• The color of the object

Why do we use square units to measure area?

• To calculate the object's perimeter

• To measure the object's height

• To cover the entire inside space of the object

• To determine the object's weight

How was the area of the first figure determined?

• By painting it

• By covering it with square tiles

• By measuring its perimeter

• By guessing the number of square units

What does covering a figure with square tiles help to determine?
