Students are learning the connection between area and multiplication. We have explored this idea many times, but this is a slightly different way of looking at it. We are coming at it from the area side first, then figuring out the multiplication problem from there. We are also labeling our rectagle with units and square units.
Thank you so much for posting pictures of the class. It's great to catch a glimpse of what they are working on, seeing how they are in class, and having a peek at their special events. I enjoy periodically checking out what new pictures are posted. Thank you!
