Area Counting Squares Worksheet
๐ Topic Summary: Area with Squares
Area is the amount of space inside a shape. When we use squares to measure area, we count how many squares fit inside the shape. Each square usually has sides of 1 unit (like 1 cm or 1 inch). So, if you count 9 squares inside a rectangle, the area is 9 square units!
