In this 20-day module students explore area as an attribute of two-dimensional figures and relate it to their prior understandings of multiplication. Students conceptualize area as the amount of two-dimensional surface that is contained within a plane figure.  They come to understand that the space can be tiled with unit squares without gaps or overlaps.  They make predictions and explore which rectangles cover the most area when the side lengths differ.  Students progress from using square tile manipulatives to drawing their own area models and manipulate rectangular arrays to concretely demonstrate the arithmetic properties. The module culminates with students designing a simple floor plan that conforms to given area specifications.

This Check Your Readiness Assessment is used in conjunction with the Illustrative Mathematics Curriculum. It breaks down identifying the Essential Standard associated. This assessment should be utilized with the uploaded rubric to determine levels of prerequisite skills when beginning a new unit and allow for placement of interventions.

This Check Your Readiness Rubric is used in conjunction with the Illustrative Mathematics Curriculum. It breaks down each question by identifying the Essential Standard associated and then defining what an Advanced, Proficient, Basic or Below Basic student response would entail. This rubric can then be utilized to determine levels of prerequisite skills when beginning a new unit and allow for placement of interventions.

En este módulo de 20 días, los estudiantes exploran el área como un atributo de figuras bidimensionales y lo relacionan con su comprensión previa de multiplicación. Los estudiantes conceptualizan el área como la cantidad de superficie bidimensional que está contenida dentro de una figura plana. Llegan a comprender que el espacio puede estar mortal con cuadrados unitarios sin huecos o superposiciones. Hacen predicciones y exploran qué rectángulos cubren la mayor cantidad de área cuando las longitudes laterales difieren. Los estudiantes progresan del uso de manipulaciones de baldosas cuadradas hasta dibujar sus propios modelos de área y manipular matrices rectangulares para demostrar concretamente las propiedades aritméticas. El módulo culmina con estudiantes que diseñan un plano de planta simple que se ajusta a las especificaciones de área dadas.

This is a rectangle subdivision task; ideally instead of counting each square. students should break the letters into rectangles, multiply to find the areas, and add up the areas. However, students should not be discouraged from using individual counting to start if they are stuck. Often students will get tired of counting and devise the shortcut method themselves.

The purpose of this task is for students to decompose a figure into rectangles and then find the total area by adding the area of all of its smaller, non-overlapping rectangles.
