For example
A floor of 4 rows of 5 tiles has an area of 20 tiles.
In Grade 3
Children cover shapes with square tiles and count them long before any formula is introduced.
Watch out for
Children often mix area up with perimeter. Area covers the inside, while perimeter walks around the edge.
Say it at home
Count the floor tiles in a room to work out its area in tiles.
Younger children may meet this as: space it covers, flat space inside.
