Motivation Pre-cut some squares of equal sizes from a cardboard (100 pieces). Show it to the class. I have some pieces of square cardboards on top of the table. Who can guess the number of pieces of square cardboards? I need to cover the top surface of the table, who wants to come up front an dtry it out on the table?

B.

Developmental Activities 1. Presentation Here is the top surface of the table. Each square cardboard is a sqaure unit. W

What is the shape of the top surface of the table? What do you call the longer side? How about the shorter side? How many square cardboards are needed for the length of the top surface of the table? How many square cardboards are needed for the width of the top surface of the table? What do you call the total number of square cardboards covering the top surface of the table? Can we give the number of square units covering a surface without counting the number of squares? How? 2. Group Activities Activity 1 Group the pupils into 3. Assign a leader for each group. Each group will be given cutouts of shapes. Find the area of each of the following shapes in square units.

a.

b.

___ square units ___ square units c. ___ square units e. d.

___ square units

___ square units Let the leader in each group explain their work by telling the number of square units covering a given area. How did each one of you work with each other? Did you not make any noise? Did you behave while working? Did you show concern for your group mates? How did you show concern?

Activity 2 Use some wooden square tiles did you use? How many wooden square tiles did you use for the length? How many wooden square tiles did you use for the width? Find the area. Replicate the activity by getting the area of a portion of the floor. Activity 3 Group the pupils into 4. Select a leader for each group. Distribute Activity Sheets Let them examine the figure below and complete the table on the next page.
