🔷 How to Solve "Counting Squares" Area Problems



Each small square represents 1 square unit (as indicated by the key: `□ = 1 m²`).

To find the area of each shape:

1. Count all the fully shaded squares.
2. If there are partial squares, estimate them:
- Half a square = 0.5
- Quarter = 0.25, etc.
3. Add up all the full and partial squares.

But since these worksheets usually use whole squares, we assume only complete squares are shaded.

Step-by-step Example



Let’s say one shape is a rectangle that is 4 squares wide and 3 squares tall.

- Total squares = 4 × 3 = 12
- So, Area = 12 m²

Now, since I don’t have the image, here's what you should do for each shape:

> 📌 Count the number of shaded squares in each grid.

Let me give you a template to fill in based on your image:

💡 Tips:



- Use a pencil to mark counted squares so you don’t double-count.
- For irregular shapes (like L-shapes), break them into rectangles and add areas.
- Double-check: count rows × columns if it’s a rectangle.

🔁 To Get Exact Answers:



Please describe one shape at a time (e.g., “Problem 1 has 3 rows and 4 columns of shaded squares”), and I’ll help you compute the area.

Alternatively, if you can describe the layout of each shape (number of shaded squares), I can give you the exact answers.
