Area

In the classroom we have been learning about area. Area is a measurement of the inside of a shape. You can cover a shape with squares or the quicker way is to measure 2 edges then multiply them like an array.   Like if you had 6 times 12 = 72. So your answer is 72 square inches or centimeters. If you needed to measure to get carpeting you would need area.  By Emma & Makenna
