Learning Objectives
Students will be able to use the length-times-width strategy to solve rectangular area problems in real-world contexts.
Introduction
(5 minutes)- Hold up a flat hand to the class and place a rectangular piece of paper over it that nearly covers its area.
- Explain how the rectangle’s area, the amount of space it takes up is approximate, or almost, the area of your hand.
- Ask the class, “What do you know about area?” and take student responses.
