ACTIVITY 11.1 Define the concept of "area."
Area is the measure of the amount of space inside a two-dimensional boundary or shape. It
is expressed in square units (e.g., square meters, square centimeters). In practical terms,
area quantifies the surface covered by a shape or object.
1.2 Identify and explain any two key concepts from the definition of an area given
above.
Two-dimensional boundary or shape:
This refers to the outline or perimeter of a flat figure that has length and width but no depth.
Examples include squares, rectangles, circles, and irregular polygons.
Understanding that area pertains to two-dimensional figures helps differentiate it from other
measurements like perimeter (which is the length around a shape) or volume (which is the
space within a three-dimensional object).
Square units:
These are the units used to measure area. A square unit is a square with sides of one unit
length. Common units include square meters (m²), square centimeters (cm²), and square
inches (in²).
Recognizing that area is measured in square units emphasizes the concept that area
quantifies how many unit squares can fit inside a given shape. This understanding is crucial
for calculating and comparing areas.
1.3 Carefully study the details of the topic as it is presented in the Curriculum and
Assessment

2.1 What is your understanding of the following concepts: aim and objectives of a
lesson?
Aim of a lesson:
The aim of a lesson refers to the overarching goal or the broad purpose that the lesson is
intended to achieve. It is a general statement about what the teacher hopes to accomplish
in the lesson.
Objectives of a lesson:

planning and the learners' activities.
2.2 As the first step to preparing an effective lesson, describe the aim(s) of your
lesson for the identified sub-topic.
Aim(s) of the lesson for finding the area of regular and irregular shapes:
The aim of this lesson is to enable students to understand and apply the concepts of area
measurement by counting squares on grids for both regular and irregular shapes. This
lesson aims to develop their spatial reasoning and problem-solving skills in a practical
context.
2.3 Complete table B to illustrate your understanding of learning on
Verb How would you measure each of
these verbs objectively?
Be acquainted with Learners will demonstrate their
acquaintance by identifying different
regular and irregular shapes and
discussing their properties in class.
Be aware of Learners will show awareness by
explaining the concept of area and
why it is important in real-life
applications.
Grasp Learners will illustrate their grasp by
solving problems related to finding
the area of various shapes, both
regular and irregular, using grid
counting
Represent Learners will represent their
understanding by drawing shapes on
a grid and accurately counting the
squares to determine the area.
