PRESENTATION
Read the situation:
Ena, Niko, and Kobe are cleaning their bedroom. If the area of their
room is 90 000 square centimeters. What is its equivalent in square
meters?
What is the area of the learner’s bedroom?
Remember that there are 10 000 square centimeters in 1 square meter.
How will you solve the problem?
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
When converting square meter () to square centimeter (), multiply the number
in square meter by 10 000.
Ex. 5 = 5 x 10 000
= 50 000
5 = 50 000
When converting square centimeter () to square meter (), divide the given
measure by 10 000.
Ex. 70 000 = 70 000 cm ÷ 10 000
=7
70 000 = 7
REINFORCING THE CONCEPT

GENERALIZATION
•How many square centimeter
are there in 1 square meter?
There are 10 000 square
centimeters in one square meter.
GENERALIZATION
•How do we convert or change
to and vice versa?
To convert square centimeters to
square meters, we divide by
GENERALIZATION
•How do we convert or change
to and vice versa?
To convert square meters to square
centimeters, we multiply by
10 000.
