Description

These Area Concepts math activities help students understand that area is measured in square units and can be found by counting unit squares. Students model area on grids, determine the area of rectangles, connect area to multiplication, and solve problems involving area.

A reusable Math Notes Math Mat is included to help students draw area models, organize their thinking, and show their work during math centers, small groups, or independent practice. Digital options are also included!

Learning Goals: I understand that the area of a plane shape can be measured in square units. I can measure area by counting unit squares.

The Problem with Guided Math

- One big problem with guided math is not knowing what to assign for math centers.

- It can get especially overwhelming when pulling math games from various places. Teachers end up wasting lots of time explaining directions and students get off task because they are confused.

- Holding students accountable for their work during math centers is important. You want students to record their work, but then you don’t have extra time to check or organize all the recording sheets.

The Solution

✓ Our math games are standards-aligned. This means you know students are practicing the skills you are required to teach. The learning goal is listed.

✓ There is a predictable routine. There are THREE activities per math topic. (Math Sort, Matching Game, Clip Cards) The game structure is the same, so you won’t waste time teaching new games each week.

✓ Students stay organized by using one recording sheet per topic. An answer key is provided, so you or students can quickly check their answers.

✓ Our math games come with label cards that will help you organize the math centers. These label cards include pictures and directions for each game.
