All About Area – Cheat Sheet
What is area? Area
is the amount of space inside of a shape.
It is measured in square units.
What strategies can I use to find area?
1. Count all of the squares
2. Count the dimensions of the shape:
a. Multiply the length times the width
b. Use repeated addition
3. Break the shape into pieces and find the
area of each piece, then add the parts together.
4. For missing pieces:
a. Multiply the dimensions, then subtract the
missing parts
b. Count all of the squares
c. Break apart the shape and find the area of
each smaller part, then add them all together
