Area of Squares!

Side × Side = Area

Grade 5 Ontario Math 📚 • Measurement

Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋

I'm Kashef and today we're learning about the Area of Squares! A square is a special rectangle where all four sides are the same length. The area tells us how many square units fit inside it. The formula is easy: Area = Side × Side. Ready to cover some squares? Let’s go! 🚀

🧠 What is the Area of a Square?

Area = Side × Side (or Side²)

6 cm

Area = 6 cm × 6 cm = 36 cm²

✍️ Easy Examples

Example 1: A square tile has sides of 20 cm.
Area = 20 × 20 = 400 cm²

Example 2: A square garden is 8 metres on each side.
Area = 8 × 8 = 64 m²

🎯 Let’s Find Areas of Squares!

1. A square rug has sides of 5 metres. What is its area?

25 m²

2. Each side of a square window is 80 cm. What is its area?

6,400 cm²

3. A square has area 49 cm². What is the length of each side?

7 cm (because 7 × 7 = 49)
