About this worksheet

What students practice

Students find the area of shapes that are not rectangles by counting unit squares.
Students show that the same unit squares rearranged keep the same area.
Students explain how holes and overlapping tiles affect area.

How to use

Give students square tiles or grid paper so they can build the mosaics. Remind them to count only the covered squares, not the empty hole in the picture frame.
