Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Find Area By Counting Unit Squares, Prove Area Of A Rectangle Using Tiling, Use Tiling To Prove Area = L X W....

Main Concepts

Cover a shape completely with tiles and count to find area.

Find the length and width of a rectangle using tile square units.

Show that area of rectangle with whole-number side lengths found by tiling is the same as found by multiplying the side lengths.

Use standard units of measure (square cm, square m, square in, square ft) and units agreed to solve a problem (ex. How many tiles does it take to completely cover this rectangle? 24 tiles)

Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

In this game, you will find the length and width of a rectangle given an area - what is area? What two operations can be used to find the area of a 2 dimensional shape? In the real world, what are some examples of 2-dimensional rectangles and/or squares? How many factor combinations will give you the product of 24?

After the Game

In this game, you found the length and width of a rectangle given an area - are the length and width measurements interchangeable? Why will counting all the tiles within the figure give the same answer as multiplying the length and width of a shape? Why was it important that there were no gaps between our unit squares?
