Module 4 Lesson 8
- 1. Multiplication and Area Topic B: Concepts of Area Measurement Module 4: Lesson 8 Objective: Find the area of a rectangle through multiplication of the side lengths.
- 2. Fluency Practice (11 minutes) Multiply by 6 (8 minutes) 7 x 6 = _______ Let’s skip count by sixes. 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42. Let’s see how we can skip count down to find the answer too. Start at 60. 60, 54, 48, 42 Continue with the following sequence: 9 x 6, 6 x 6, and 8 x 6.
- 3. Fluency Practice (11 minutes) Multiply by 6 pattern sheet (2 min) Let’s practice multiplying by 6. Be sure to work left to right across the page.
- 4. Fluency Practice (11 minutes) Group Counting (4 min) • Fours to 40 • Sevens to 70 • Eights to 80 • Nines to 90
- 5. Application Problem (5 minutes) Marnie and Connor both skip-count square units to find the area of the same rectangle. Marnie counts, “3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21.” Connor counts, “7, 14, 21.” Draw what the rectangle might look like, then label the side lengths and find the area.
- 6. Application Problem (5 minutes)
- 7. Concept Development (34 minutes) Part 1: Relate side lengths to area How many rows are in the incomplete array? 4 rows. How many square units are there in each row? 7 square units.
- 8. Concept Development (34 minutes) Do we need to complete the array to find the area of the rectangle? Why or why not? How are the side lengths related to the area?
- 9. Concept Development (34 minutes) Yes! You can multiply the side lengths together to find the area. Can you multiply any 2 side lengths together? Right! You have to multiply the side length that show the number of rows times the side length that shows the number in each row. Continue with the following sequence: 6 by 5, 8 by 7, 9 by 6
- 10. Concept Development (20 minutes) Part 2: Use side lengths to find area. • What do you notice about this rectangle?
- 11. Concept Development (20 minutes) Right, you know the side lengths but there isn’t a grid inside. Do we have enough information to find the area of this rectangle even without the grid lines? Yes! We know both side lengths. Write the multiplication equation to find the area of this rectangle.
- 12. Concept Development (20 minutes)
- 13. Concept Development (20 minutes) • Part 2: Use area and side length to find unknown side length. What do you notice about this rectangle? Right! We know the area but not both side lengths one is unknown.
- 14. Concept Development (20 minutes) Write a multiplication equation to show how to find the area of this rectangle. Use a question mark for the unknown side length. 3 x ? = 27 What is the value of the question mark? 9! How do you know? 3 times 9 equals 27! So what is the side length? 9 cm What is the related division equation? 27 ÷ 3 = 9
- 15. Concept Development (20 minutes) When you know the area and one side length of a rectangle, how can you find the other side length? Right! Think of it as a multiplication equation with an unknown factor And/or divide the area by the known side length.
- 16. Problem Set (10 minutes) You have 10 minutes to complete the problem set pages. Debrief (10 minutes) Let’s review your solutions for the problem set.
