Create figures on the geoboard to match different area measurements and verify those areas by counting square units

By the end of this lesson students will determine the area of a two-dimensional shape on a Geoboard by counting smaller regions. A plane figure which can be covered without gaps or overlaps by n unit squares is said to have an area of n square units. Measure areas by counting unit squares (square cm, square m, square in, square ft, and improvised units).
