Area

Take the first step in teaching young mathematicians about area with the initial video in this five-part series. Beginning with a review of area and key terms related to area measurement, the instructor goes on to clearly model how to...

Learning math provides people with the tools to solve life's everyday problems. Show young learners how to apply their understanding of area in real-world contexts with the second video in this series. Multiple story problems are...

Young mathematicians learn to apply their understanding of area in real-world contexts with the final video of this series. Multiple examples are presented that demonstrate different situations that involve calculating the area of a...

Use prior experience with the array model of multiplication to teach young mathematicians how to find the area of rectangles in the first video of this four-part series. Multiple examples are presented that clearly demonstrate this...

Use area models as a strategy for solving problems involving finding the area of a rectangle. The definitions of rectangle and area are reviewed, along with the difference between perimeter and area. Then, two different problems are...

A real-world problem is posed at the beginning of the fourth of six lessons on applying formulas for area and perimeter. A review of the definition of squares and rectangles begins the discussion, followed by an example of solving a...

Why waste time counting up unit squares when the area of a rectangle can be found by simply multiplying the length and width? The third video in this series provides multiple examples and visual models that support young mathematicians...

When finding the area of rectangles, understanding the arrangement of unit squares in rows and columns is essential. The visual models included in this instructional video help to clearly define rows and columns for young mathematicians,...

Strange and unique shapes are found everywhere in the world around us. The final video in this series teaches young learners to break complex shapes into rectangles when finding their area. This process is clearly modeled as the...

The second of six videos on finding perimeter and area begins with a review of these terms, along with a discussion on the concept of a variable and how it applies when finding area. The core lesson gives a detailed description of how to...
