Introduction to Area

The video tutorial introduces the concept of area, explaining it as the amount of space on a flat surface. It uses examples of rectangles and various shapes to illustrate how to calculate area by counting squares. The tutorial also covers different units of measurement for area, such as square centimeters, meters, and kilometers. Finally, it compares the areas of two rooms, demonstrating that different shapes can have the same area.

If a rectangle is made larger, what happens to its area?
