Square Centimeter-By-Square Centimeter is a Grade 3 area game played on centimeter graph paper.

The repeated shading connects numerical area measurements with the actual number of square units covered.

Use it for partner or small-group practice when students are learning area in square centimeters. The visual grid makes it easy to discuss whole and fractional square units as students decide how much space each card represents.
