Description: Students will be practice finding the area of a rectangle by both tiling it and relating it to multiplication. Students will see a rectangle. They will drag multiple, individual unit squares to the shape and tile it. Next, they will write a multiplication sentence for the area model and solve it. 3.MD.6 Measure areas by counting unit squares (square cm, square m, square in, square ft, and improvised units). 3.MD.7 Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition. Find the area of a rectangle with whole number side lengths by tiling it, and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths.
