The following activity sheets will give your students practice in measuring, converting, and estimating area.

We use units of the area to calculate the surface of a two-dimensional object. For instance, a piece of land with some curve that you can measure its area. In the unit of the measurement of a unit of area refers to square meter (m2). We know how much space one shape can occupy with the full understanding of the unit of area. How to use the right unit of area? You must know the right unit while evaluating a specific area. For example, you can find the area of the house. Identify that it will be correct to use square millimeters to evaluate it. It will always depend on the status problem you are solving. But the fact is, if you use square millimeters, you get too big value. It would be better if you don't use it as it creates problems and confusion while solving problems. What about square meters (m2), will it be correct unit area? Yes, its usage will be perfect, and you will not get confused while solving the problems related to the unit of a specific area. Also, you can easily use square feet (ft2). Unit of areas with symbols: Square millimeters - mm2,Square meters - m2, Square kilometers - km2, Square inches - in2, Square feet - ft2

If you want know the size of any surface of any object, you are looking for the area of that surface. Area is entirely dependent on the shape you are working. We often start by finding the area of rectangle which can be calculated by finding the product of width and height. When we look for the area of a circle, we totally change things up multiplying the radius of the circle by Pi. Sometimes we have indefinite shapes. In these cases we will approximate by dropping a grid over top of them. Your students will use these worksheets to practice working with area measurements. Students will convert between metric units, calculate imperial units, estimate total area, and use "blueprint" measurements to answer questions.

Converting Between Area Units Lesson

This lesson walks you through how to determine the area of a square. First of all area of square in square meters will be 4 m X 4 m =16 m2 Now we have 1 meter = 100 cm. So 4 meters will have 400 cm. Thus area of square in square centimeters will be 400 cm X 400 cm. Now 1 cm = 10 mm. So 400 cm will have 4000 mm. Thus area of square in square millimeters will be 4000 mm X 4000 mm
