Students find the area of shapes with straight and curvy sides. Many of these shapes involve putting pieces of units together as well as counting whole units. Students then apply this measurement skill as they analyze and create different shapes with the same area. Students also find the area of curvy shapes to determine which paper towel brand would hold the most water. They further extend this concept to solve a ghost mystery by comparing characteristics of footprints. Students also review how to measure and write time to the nearest five minutes.
