Recognize Area Word Problems Guided Lesson Explanation


Explanation to #1
Step 1) Identify what is being asked of you.
Draw a rectangle that is made up of 4 rows and 6 columns

Step 2) Now we look for the square units in the rectangle. We can count
them or use multiplication to determine it. When we count we get 24 units.
When we multiply, we get the same:
4 X 6 = 24 squares

Explanation to #2
Step 1) It is clear that they want to partition the rectangle into 2 rows and 5
columns. To make two rows, draw 1 horizontal line half way down the
rectangle. To make 5 columns, draw 4 vertical lines evenly spaced across
the rectangle.

Step 2) How many square units of area are there?

Count the squares inside the shape. That gives us 10. We can also multiply:
2 X 5 = 10
There are 10 square units.

Explanation to #3
It is clear that they want to know the area of the rectangle.

Count the squares inside the shape. That would give us 20. Follow it up with
multiplication.
4 X 5 = 20: There are 20 squares.
The area is 20 square units.
