This fifth-grade lesson explores the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths. We tile the rectangle with unit rectangles and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. We multiply...

In this task, students must draw a diagram from a verbal description and use their understanding of similar triangles to find the area of a quadrilateral. Aligns with G-SRT.B.5.

Explore the world of quadrilaterals and their properties. Find answers to questions like what are quadrilaterals, how they are formed, easy ways to identify them, and commonly seen quadrilaterals around us.

The resource consists of student notes, instructor notes, and an interactive activity. The activity allows learners to find the factors of a given number and then draw the product as the area of a rectangle on a grid.
