Find Area Of A Rectangle Using Unit Fraction Tiles Math Games

4 games

In this series of games, your students will learn to find the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths by tiling it with unit squares of the appropriate unit fraction side lengths and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. The Find Area Of A Rectangle Using Unit Fraction Tiles learning objective — based on CCSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research. This learning objective directly references 5.NF.B.4.b as written in the common core national math standards.
