Area - week 6

What is area?
Area is the space around you, underneath you and above you.
It is the total number of square units inside a shape, that is the thing you need to know.
In the real world we need area to build home or measuring how big your rug can be or how big your tiles have to be to fit in the right place.
Did you know that rows go right across and column mean come on down.
Length x width = Area or columns + rows = Area.
