Finding the Area of a Shape


 This week we continued our measurement skills by looking at the concept of area.  We filled in various shapes with coloured tiles, and compared our results with others.  If we measured carefully, we should have the same answer.  We learned that you need to cover the shape so that the tiles touch each other with no space between them.

Have you ever measured the area of irregular shapes?
