Component

Standard(s)

    M.3.7.1   Show that a unit square is a square with side lengths of 1 unit and find the area of a plane figure (rectangle or square) by covering it with square units.

3.MD.C.5.a

3.MD.C.5.b

    M.3.7.2   Use a unit square to measure area by counting unit squares including square cm., square m., square in., square ft., and improvised units.

3.MD.C.6

3.MD.C.5.a

    M.3.7.3   Find the area of a rectangle using square tiles and show that the area would be equivalent by multiplying the side lengths and apply to real world context. 3.MD.C.7.a
    M.3.7.4   Multiply side lengths of rectangles to find the area in mathematical and real world contexts. 3.MD.C.7.b
    M.3.7.5   Find the area of a shape by breaking it down (decompose) into smaller shapes and then adding those areas to find the total area. 3.MD.C.7.d
    M.3.7.6   Use an area model with tiling to show that the distributive property can produce two areas that are equivalent (a and (b + c) is equivalent to a x b and a x c). 3.MD.C.7.c
