Areas are measured in squares.

The area of any shape is the number of squares that it covers. The number of squares covered depends upon the size of the squares.

A square centimetre is a square with 1 centimetre along each side.

If you had a square 6 centimetres along each side, how many of these "square centimetres" would be needed to fill its interior?

First, along one edge of the square you could fit 6 of these square centimetres in a row.

You could also fit 6 of these rows down the 6 cm square. So in total there would be 6 x 6 = 36 of the little squares:

To find an area of a shape, it depends on what shape it is. Generally, though, area and volume are measured in square or cubic units.

To find the area of a cube, measure one of its sides, and cube is (multiply the length by itself two times).
