Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
E.g. 1 Pupils to explore the area of their exercise books. i.e. ask pupils to cut 1cm by 1cm square sheets and tack them on the back of their exercise books until it is covered entirely. Then, count the number of the sheets to obtain the area E.g. 2. Pupils to explore the area of graph sheet. Ask pupils to calculate the area of one of the squares on the graph sheet. Then, count the number of squares on the graph sheet to obtain the area of the entire sheet E.g. 3 Using floor tiles, ask pupils to measure the area of one of the tiles, then multiply it by the number of tiles to obtain the area of the entire room Note: Help pupils to come out with the understanding that the area of a figure is the number of squares required to cover it completely
