Area by Counting Squares: Four Grid Shapes

Count square-centimetre units to find the area of four shapes. Record the covered area beside each grid figure.

• Four figures drawn on square-centimetre grids
• Area response spaces adjacent to the shapes
• A stated one-square-centimetre unit scale

Curriculum reference — England: Metric unit scale is portable; no imperial conversion needed. Counting equal non-standard squares supports Grade3 area measurement; no centimetre-unit claim unless shown. England Year4 explicitly includes counting squares to find area. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
