area Then she derives the formula.
Area of a rectangle = length x

What is the area of the rectangle in
the below grid?

Length=5 unit Observation and

Breadth= 3 units verification of the
Area= length x breadth answer
= 5 x 3=15 units

Expand: The area of a rectangle is 312 cm2 Area= 312cm2 Verification of

Finding the and its breadth is 13 cm, then find its Area=length x breadth answer
length of the length? length= area/breadth
given = 312/ 13
rectangle = 24 cm

Evaluation:
Teacher evaluates through question as
1. What is area? 1. The amount of surface enclosed by a closed figure is
called its area.
2. What is the area of the following figure? 2. length = 10cm
Breadth=5cm
Area= length x breadth
= 10 x 5= 50cm2
Recapitulation: Black board summary:
1. What is area? 1. The amount of surface enclosed by a closed figure is
called its area.
2. What is the formula to find out the area of a 2. length x breadth
square?

3. The area of a rectangle is 7488 cm2 and its length is 3. Area= 7488cm2
78 cm, then find its breadth? Area=length x breadth
breadth = area/length
= 7488/ 78
= 96 cm

Home Assignment:

1. Find the area of a rectangle sheet whose length is 18 cm and breadth is 20cm.

2. Find the length of a rectangle whose area is 56 cm2 and its breadth is 7 cm.

Activity:
