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 |
