Measuring the Area of Polygons

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Fourth graders use pattern blocks to explore areas of polygons. They explain that the answers to the area of the same polygon vary according to the units of measurement used. They visualize how different units of measurement can be used to measure the same area, and how the unit used will change the answer but not the area.
