Area and Shapes Concepts

The video tutorial teaches students how to find the area of irregular shapes using the counting squares method. It begins by introducing the concept and defining a square as the measurement unit. The tutorial then demonstrates how to divide a shape into complete and half squares, count them, and verify the results. Students learn to calculate the total area by adding the complete squares and combining half squares. The tutorial concludes with a practice exercise to reinforce the method.

What method is introduced for finding the area of irregular shapes?
