2. Rearrange the two cut outs to form different single plane figures.
a. What figures are formed?
b. What can you say about their shapes?
their sizes?
a. What does size mean?
Size here means the amount of surface covered by a figure.
Area
This is also known as ___________.

A child says that there are 10 mm in a cm, so there must be 10 sq. mm.
in a sq. cm. Is the child right? Draw the figure that will guide the child to
the correct result.

park be?
The learner demonstrates understanding and
appreciation of key concepts and skills involving
measurement (perimeter and area) as applied
using appropriate technology
- in critical thinking, problem solving,
reasoning, communicating, making
connections, representations, and
decisions in real life.
