How can you find out the area of oddly-shaped shapes?

How many ways are there to measure the length of something?

This special family video is a great way to share what your child is learning

Students will learn about the importance of measurement using standard measuring tools. Through trial and error, the Math Monsters discover the importance of using a standard measuring tool. Through this episode, students will recognize the attributes of length and area, examine the use of measurements in real-life situations, measure with the same size unit (standard and non-standard), and observe the use of tools such as rulers to guide measurement. A field trip to meet a carpenter illustrates a profession that relies heavily on standard measurement tools to perform his work

The Math Monsters have just built a rocket and now must design a launch pad. But how many fire-proof tiles will they need to cover the area? Various strategies are explored to help discover how to figure out how accomplish the task. There is a video field trip to visit a tile shop whose employees work with customers to determine the area of various floors in their homes. Viewers will gain a greater understanding of the concept of, and discover helpful techniques they can apply to determine area
