Today we had our students find the area of fall leaves using non-standard units. I explained that area means finding out how big the space on the inside is. After they filled up their leaves with counters, we had them individually count them out loud, watching for one-to-one correspondence. Then we wrote in their journals what the area of the leaves were and they glued in the leaves and colored them. They did a great job!
