# Area

Learning video 54 · Geometry · Grade 4 · 0:31

## Read the story

The area tells us how much space is inside a shape.

We fill it with squares that are 1 centimeter on each side.

Here are 3 rows with 4 squares each.

3 times 4 is 12. The area is 12 square centimeters.

**4 rows of 6 squares: what is the area?**

## Answer and working

Correct! 4 times 6 is 24 square centimeters.

`4 × 6 = 24`
