  Definition Of Square Yard
The early yard was divided by the binary method into 2, 4, 8, and 16 parts called the half-yard, span, finger, and nail.
The yard derives its name from the word for a straight branch or rod, although the precise origin of the measure itself is not definitely known.
One postulate was that the yard was derived from the girth of a person's waist, while another claim held that the measure was invented by Henry I of England as being the distance between the tip of his nose and the end of his thumb.

-By the square:  A "square" is a unit of measurement that pertains only to roofing materials, and is equal to 100 square feet.  Virtually all types of roofing except metal -- composition shingles, wood shingles, shakes, tile, etc. -- are sold by the square, as is roofing felt (tar paper).
A square foot is a two-dimensional measurement that is one foot wide and one foot long, regardless of thickness.
Several materials are commonly sold by the square foot, including ceramic tile, vinyl floor tile, window screen, hardware cloth and some types of fabric.

 Square Units and Area: Science
There are three feet in a yard, so you might be tempted to say 3 square feet in a square yard, but you'd be wrong.
First, you can see that if the original (whole square) was one yard on each side, then each smaller square is one foot on each side, because there are three feet in a yard.
Second, you can see that there are a total of 9 of these "square feet" inside the whole "square yard." This is the key moment I've been building up to this whole time, so please make sure that you can convince yourself of this: 9 square feet equals 1 square yard.

 A SQUARE YARD IN THE SCHOOL YARD
Square foot gardening is a method that sets plants in a grid pattern rather than in rows with spaces left between.
A square may contain from one to sixteen plants, depending on each crop's requirements; a chart of suggested spacings for common plants is included in this kit.
If you inspect each square carefully every day (or at least every school day), you can water the plants before they suffer from drought stress; you can spot pest problems before they get out of hand; and you can harvest your crops at their best.
