Playing The Surface Area Game

My name is Courtney on behalf of Expert Village and in this clip I'm going to show you a fun game to practice area. What you do is you need some graph paper and you're going to have your child pick two different objects from around the house and they're going to first guess which as more area. Today I'm going to compare my hand with this marker box. So, I would guess the marker box has more area. The next thing you need to do is trace the two objects. So, I'm going to first trace my hand and then I'm going to trace the marker box. I'm going to do the marker box on the back since there's not enough room on the front. Then we need to find the area. To find the area we're going to count the boxes that are in the space that we drew. So we would do that. After we've counted the squares, my hand has an area of about one hundred and eighty squares and the crayon box has an area of about, of over four hundred, a little over four hundred. So, then I would write that the crayon box has a larger area. Then you would go and find two more objects to compare, again, making a guess and then actually figuring out the area.
