Finding Area of Shapes Using Square Tiles

The video tutorial explains how to measure the area of a rectangular shape using unit squares. It begins by introducing the concept of area and the use of unit squares to cover a shape without gaps or overlaps. The tutorial then demonstrates the process of measuring a rectangle by lining up unit squares along its length and width, ensuring no gaps or overlaps. The total number of unit squares used is counted to determine the area, which in this example is 24 square inches. The lesson concludes by summarizing the method of measuring area using unit squares.
