HOME LEARNING TASK
This asynchronous home learning task is designed to ensure continuity of learning during class suspensions. It aims to help students stay
engaged with the lesson objectives, reinforce previously learned concepts, and promote independent study habits while working at their own
pace from home. Kindly note that this task is to be submitted once classes resume, allowing students to complete it at their own pace.
Subject: Math Grade and section: 3-Love and Knowledge

Learning illustrate and estimate the area of a square or rectangle using square tile units.
Objective/s:
Topic: Area of a Square or Rectangle
Discussion:
What is Area?
Imagine you're covering a floor with square tiles. The area tells you how many tiles you
need to cover the whole floor. It's the amount of space inside a shape. We measure
area in square units, like square centimeters or square inches.
Rectangles:
A rectangle is a shape with four sides and four right angles (like the corners of a book).
Opposite sides of a rectangle are always equal in length.
To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply its length by its width.
Formula: Area = Length × Width
Example:
Let's say we have a rectangle that is 5 centimeters long and 3 centimeters wide.
Area = 5 cm × 3 cm = 15 square centimeters
So, it would take 15 square centimeter tiles to cover this rectangle.
Squares:
A square is a special type of rectangle where all four sides are equal in length.
To find the area of a square, we multiply the length of one side by itself (because all
sides are the same!).
Formula: Area = Side × Side or Area = Side² (Side squared)

HOME LEARNING TASK
Let's say we have a square with sides of 4 inches.
Area = 4 inches × 4 inches = 16 square inches
It would take 16 square inch tiles to cover this square.
Activity: Copy and answer on your math notebook. Finding the area of square and rectangle using the square
tile unit.
