00:05	Whoa ! In this video , we are going to
00:09	learn about area . It's gonna be fun . But
00:15	first we want to hear from you . Six year
00:17	old Hannah from Maryland said my favorite video is on
00:21	place values . We are so glad you enjoyed it
00:24	. Please , values are awesome . We also heard
00:29	from mrs Yablonski second grade class in Pittsburgh who watched
00:33	our sentence fragments video and said we loved the video
00:37	, especially Mr Whiskers . It was funny and we
00:40	also learned something too . That's great . We love
00:44	to hear that . We love hearing from all of
00:49	you . Be sure and watch this video to the
00:51	end to learn how you two could be featured on
00:54	one of our videos . Well , as we mentioned
00:59	earlier in this video , we are going to learn
01:02	about area . Yeah . Area is something we can
01:08	discover about shapes . The area of a shape refers
01:12	to how much space is inside of it . Area
01:18	is very different from perimeter . If you'll remember perimeter
01:21	is the space around a shape ? Area Is the
01:25	space inside of a shape ? All right . So
01:31	area is the space inside of a shape ? And
01:35	parameter is the space around a shape . So they're
01:39	very different , aren't they ? And this video is
01:41	all about area . We're going to learn how to
01:44	find the space inside of a shape . This should
01:51	be fun . Let's play a game called . What's
01:53	the area we want to find the area of this
01:57	shape . What kind of shape is this ? Yeah
02:00	, a square . Remember the area of the shape
02:04	? Is the space inside of the shape ? We
02:07	are going to measure the area of the shape using
02:11	square units . So the area of the shape is
02:17	how much space is inside of it . So how
02:21	many square units are inside of this square ? Do
02:26	you know If you don't just count them up ?
02:29	Yeah . four . There are four square units in
02:34	this square . Four square units is the area of
02:38	this square ? Okay , that was cool . Right
02:43	, let's try figuring out the area of this rectangle
02:47	. Just like last time we're going to measure the
02:50	area of this rectangle using square units . Remember the
02:55	area of a shape ? Is the space inside of
02:58	the shape ? So how many square units are in
03:02	this rectangle ? Do you know ? Yeah , there
03:10	are five square units in this rectangle grey job .
03:14	That's the area of this rectangle . Five square units
03:19	. It awesome . Now we are going to look
03:24	at an irregular shape . What is the area of
03:29	this shape ? Just like we did with the others
03:32	, were going to measure the area of this shape
03:35	using square units . How many square units are inside
03:39	of this shape ? Feel free to pause this video
03:42	to give yourself time to count them . Yeah .
03:52	Were you able to count all of them ? How
03:54	many square units are in this shape ? What is
03:58	the area of this shape ? Yeah , 12 square
04:04	units . Great job there are 12 square units in
04:08	this irregular shape so far . Finding the area has
04:15	been very easy because we've shown you the inside of
04:18	the shape . So all you have to do is
04:20	count how many units are inside . But what if
04:24	you can't see the units inside the shape ? What
04:27	if there are just numbers that you know and you
04:30	have to come up with the area ? Another way
04:36	here is the fun part to find the area of
04:39	a shape . You have to use multiplication . Yeah
04:42	, multiplication . So how do you find the area
04:49	of a square or a rectangle ? Using multiplication .
04:53	All you have to do is multiply the length times
04:57	the width to get the area here , we'll show
05:00	you , Let's say we want to find the area
05:05	of this rectangle . It is six ft long and
05:09	one ft wide . Remember to find the area of
05:13	a square or a rectangle . All we have to
05:16	do is multiply the length times the width , the
05:20	length times the width is the area . It's just
05:24	simple multiplication . So we would write six times one
05:29	. Six times one will give us the area of
05:32	this rectangle . Mm . What is six times 1
05:38	, do you know ? Yeah , six times one
05:41	is six . Whenever you multiply a number times one
05:46	it stays the same . So our answer is six
05:50	ft square . That little to next two ft means
05:55	squared . It tells us that the rectangle has six
05:59	square feet of space . Inside The area is six
06:04	ft square . Why don't we try another one ?
06:10	Let's say we want to find the area of this
06:14	square . It is three cm long on each side
06:18	. Remember to find the area of a square or
06:22	a rectangle . All we have to do is multiply
06:25	the length times the width for a square , the
06:28	length and the width are the same size , aren't
06:32	they ? Well , the length times the width is
06:35	the area . So we just have to multiply .
06:38	We would write three times 33 times three will give
06:44	us the area of this square . What is three
06:51	times 3 , do you know ? Hmm . Yeah
06:56	, three times three is nine . The area of
06:59	this square is nine centimeters squared . That little to
07:03	next two centimeters means squared . It tells us that
07:07	the square has nine square centimeters of space inside .
07:15	That was so cool . What about this rectangle ?
07:18	What is the area of this rectangle ? As you
07:21	can see it is four m long and two m
07:26	wide . Remember to find the area of a square
07:29	or a rectangle . All we have to do is
07:32	multiply the length times the width , the length times
07:36	the width is the area . It's just simple multiplication
07:40	. So we would write four times to four times
07:44	two will give us the area of this rectangle .
07:49	What is four times 2 , do you know ?
07:54	Mhm . Yeah , four times two is eight .
07:57	So the area of this rectangle is eight m squared
08:02	. That little to next two m means squared .
08:06	It tells us that the rectangle has eight square meters
08:10	of space inside As we are wrapping up . We
08:16	want to share too quick tips about area as you
08:19	saw from our examples . When you find the area
08:22	of a shape , the answer is always squared .
08:26	If we discovered the area of a shape was measured
08:28	in feet and the answer was 50 . Our answer
08:32	could be written 50 square feet or 50 ft squared
08:37	. The answer is always squared because area tells us
08:41	how much space is inside a shape , the little
08:45	to means squared . The second thing we want to
08:50	mention is that you have to use a different multiplication
08:54	equation to find the area of circles and triangles .
08:58	In this video , we just learned the basics of
09:01	area and how to find the area of rectangles and
09:05	squares . But this is just the beginning . In
09:08	the start of an exciting math world , there is
09:11	so much more about area to learn . Yeah wow
09:18	. Okay so we need to fit a lot of
09:21	boxes in this warehouse . Okay . But bob isn't
09:24	sure how much space is in here . Okay .
09:27	The warehouse is shaped like a rectangle so I can
09:32	just multiply the length times the width and figure out
09:36	how many square feet are in this warehouse area is
09:40	so cool . How area is awesome , man !
09:46	Math is so great . Oh man , wow !
09:51	Hey , I I wonder what Mr whiskers is doing
09:54	right now . So you made it to the end
10:01	of the video . You are awesome . Remember the
10:05	kids comments we promised you we would share how you
10:08	two could be featured on one of our videos with
10:13	the help of an adult . Leave your first name
10:16	, age and where you are from . Along with
10:18	a comment , you can share a joke , a
10:20	silly message or just share how much you love us
10:24	. If you are watching this as a class ,
10:27	you can leave a comment to just share your teacher's
10:31	name , your grade and where you are from .
