Area of Rectangles and unit squares Tuesday 31st July

For   maths    this    week    we   have   been    learning    to    measure    the     area   of   a   rectangle using   unit    squares.

To measure the area of the rectangle, we started from the corner and covered the shape in unit squares and when we had covered the whole shape, we counted the number of squares we used.

In this photo, the area of the rectangle I measured was 6 unit squares.
