Competency Development: Collaboration, Communication, Confidence, Creativity, Critical Thinking?
Key Vocabulary: area, length, width, rectangle
Learning Question (objective) (LO - keep it short) Success Criteria (SC – steps to success)
Apply the area formula to find the area of rectangles.  I can find the area of a rectangle by using the formula for area.
 I can find the area of a figure made of combined rectangles.
 I can find the unknown measure of a rectangle given the length of one side and the area or perimeter.

 Discuss their findings, explain to the student that by using the
base ten blocks to cover the board(rectangular and square) they
were finding the area of the board.
 We can also find the area of squares and rectangle by using a
formula which is LxW
 Have students multiply the length by the width.
