Through a series of thoughtfully crafted lessons, activities and exercises, students will explore various rectangles and calculate their areas. They will learn the formula to calculate the area of a square or rectangle as well as joined rectangles. This unit fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills as students work with area concepts in practical contexts, such as designing floor plans or calculating the space needed for gardening projects. The differentiated worksheets and included assessment allow students to demonstrate their understanding in a range of ways.
