- p. 3Cover and Count. Count the same-size squares that cover each rectangle, then write the area.
- p. 4No Gaps, No Overlaps. Circle the rectangle that is covered the right way, then write its area.
- p. 14Mixed Review. Read each section, then find each area or missing side.
The standard
Investigate area by covering the space of rectangles presented in realistic situations using multiple copies of the same unit, with no gaps or overlaps, and determine the total area (total number of units that covered the space).
Element 3.GSR.7.1 of Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards (2021, effective SY2023-24), in the Geometric & Spatial Reasoning strand. It sits under standard 3.GSR.7: Identify area as a measurable attribute of rectangles and determine the area of a rectangle presented in real-life, mathematical problems.
What students practice
Students count the same-size squares that cover a rectangle, then choose the one covering out of three with no gaps, no overlaps, and one tile size. Every item is a single rectangle with sides of 10 or less.
Where to find it
Think: 6 same-size squares, no gaps or overlaps, so it is 6 square units.
