Key idea

partition rectangles into rows and columns of same-size squares and count the squares.

Sample problems

  1. Partition a rectangle into 2 rows and 3 columns of same-size squares. Count them.
  2. A rectangle has 2 rows of 3 same-size squares. Write an adding equation.
  3. Partition another rectangle into 3 rows and 2 columns. Count its squares.
  4. One row has 3 squares. How many are in 3 equal rows?

Common mistakes to watch for

  • Use a picture, objects or another calculation to check.

The answer key explains each one, so you can tell what a wrong answer means.

How to use this set

  1. Teach with the slides (about 15 minutes): a warm-up, the big ideas, a “spot the slip” challenge, Mr DJ’s worked example, and a pick-your-pepper round on whiteboards. Or watch the video together.
  2. Practice with the worksheet. Everyone does Mild and Medium, then climbs to Spicy and Extra Spicy.
  3. Check understanding with the exit ticket, and send the homework home.
  4. Mark with the answer key — each answer shows the steps and the most likely mistake. The slides’ teacher notes are in the key too.
