Math:
This week in math the students will continue to interpret area models to form rectangular arrays. They will find the area of a rectangle through multiplication of side lengths. the students will analyze different rectangles and reason about their area. The students will apply the distributive property as a strategy to find the total area of a large rectangle by adding two products. They will demonstrate the possible whole number side lengths of rectangles with areas of 24, 36, 48, or 72 square units using the associative property of multiplication. The students will find areas by decomposing into rectangles or completing composite figures to form rectangles.
Example of using the distributive property to find the total area of a rectangle:
Example of area word problem with rectangle with area of 36 square units:

Things to practice at home:
Solve 2 step word problems involving the four operation (multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction.
Use place value knowledge to round numbers to nearest 10's and 100's.
Practice identifying mathematical patterns (example: 42, 46, 50, tell the next 4 numbers in the pattern).
Continue practicing multiplication facts 2-12
Practice creating rectangles with areas of 24, 36, 48, or 72 square units. Label side lengths of the rectangles.
