Math:
This week in math the students will draw rows and columns to determine the area of a rectangle when given an incomplete array.  They will interpret area models to form rectangular arrays.  The students will find the area of rectangles by multiplying side lengths.  They will analyze different rectangles and reason about their areas.
Example word problem solving for area:

Lori wants to replace the square tiles on her wall.  The square tiles are sold in boxes of 8 square tiles.  Lori buys 6 boxes of tiles.  Does she have enough to replace all the tiles, including the tiles under the painting?
