1cm2 Area is measured in centimetre squares.
6cm 1cm2 1cm2 4cm What is the area of this rectangle? How many centimetre squares are there? Area = 24cm2
6cm 1cm2 1cm2 4cm What is the area of this rectangle? How else could we work it out? 6 squares in a row 4 rows Area = 6 x 4 = 24cm2
8cm 1cm2 1cm2 3cm What is the area of this rectangle? 8 squares in a row 3 rows Area = 8 x 3 = 24cm2
3cm 1cm2 5cm What is the area of this rectangle? Area = 3 x 5 = 15 cm2
7cm 3cm What is the area of this rectangle? Area = 7 x 3 = 21 cm2
4cm 4cm What is the area of this square? Area = 4 x 4 = 16 cm2
Can we write a formula to find the area of a rectangle? What are the sides called? height Area = base x height base
3cm 10cm What is the area of this rectangle? Area = base x height = 10 x 3 = 30cm2
