Convert Between Area Measurements in Different Units

This activity is about converting areas from smaller units to larger units and from larger units to smaller units.

Work out the areas of the above squares using different units.

1 cm x 1 cm = 1 cm² or 10 mm x 10 mm = 100 cm²

1 cm² = 100 mm²

1 m x 1 m = 1 m² or 100 cm x 100 cm = 10,000 cm²

1 m² = 10,000 cm²

1 km x 1 km = 1 km² or 1,000 m x 1,000 m = 1,000,000 m² 

1 km² = 1,000,000 m²

Let's give it a go!
