Practice computing the areas of rectangles that have fractional side lengths. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This is a "three star" geometry problem where prior math problem skills and proof experience is recommended. Tile constructions may be used to solve this perimeter and area problem.

In this lesson plan, learners students explore locomotor and non-locomotor movement and calculate the area needed to perform the African-American dance Zudio.

Comparing Rectangles is a learning activity that applies skills that compare rectangles.

This fifth-grade lesson explores the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths. We tile the rectangle with unit rectangles and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. We multiply...

A "one star" geometry problem that requires finding the visual pattern and applying logic with basic math skills to solve how many tiles are needed to complete the kitchen floor pattern.

Beehives are made of walls, each of the same size, enclosing small hexagonal cells where honey and pollen are stored and bees are raised. This problem examines some of the mathematical advantages of the hexagonal tiling in a beehive....

This lesson plan helps students understand the difference between area and volume. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.C.7.a Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it
