What is the difference between a 2D and 3D shape? How would you find out how much space a shape takes up? What is a unit square? If you draw a circle and it is made of 4 yellow squares, 4 red squares, and 4 blue squares, what is its total area in unit squares?

You are commissioned to create a new masterpiece - the Mona Lizard: you paint 46 dark green unit squares, 30 light green squares, 22 yellow squares, 4 black squares, 8 white squares, and 5 light red squares - what is a unit square (or square unit)? How are they used to find area? What is the total area of squares that are covered by paint? What is the area of the canvas that is covered in a shade of green? What did you use to measure area in this game? Explain what the area of a shape is. How did you find the area of a shape with more than one color used? How might you find the area of an object if you did not have unit squares?
