Learning objective
What this activity builds
Interpret a product as the number of unit squares in a rectangle and compare how changing a factor changes its area.
Worked example
A rectangle represents 4 rows and 3 columns. What product does its area show?
4 × 3 = 12
Each of the 4 rows contains 3 equal units, so the rectangle covers 12 unit squares. Its printed width and height scale with the two factors.
Teaching notes
Make the practice count
- Trace one complete row and one complete column before finding the product.
- Compare two rectangles with one shared factor to see how the area changes.
