WHAT'S INCLUDED? (PRINT AND DIGITAL)
Game 1: I'm Bigger! No, I'm Bigger!
Students find the area of each rectangle. Then, they put an arrow next to the rectangle with the larger area.
Game 2: Shade It In
Students change the size of the colored box to show the area at the bottom.
Game 3: Find an Area Of...
Students put a circle on the model that shows the area correctly.
Game 4: Count It Up
Students find the area of the shape by counting the unit squares. Then, they type the answer in the yellow box.
HOW TO IMPLEMENT:
There are 11 problems included in each of the 4 games (total of 44 questions).
Digitally: The first problem is always an example for students so they know what to do. I would recommend completing 5 questions during your lesson together and assigning the other 5 for students to complete independently.
Print: Print the task cards out and put them in a math center. Have students record answers on the recording sheet provided. Students can use the self-checking answer key to check their work. You can choose between the color and black and white option.

Aligns with Common Core 3.MD.5:
- Recognize area as an attribute of plane figures and understand concepts of area measurement.
Aligns with Common Core 3.MD.6:
- Measure areas by counting unit squares (square cm, square m, square in, square ft, and improvised units).
Aligns with Common Core 3.MD.7:
- Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition.
This aligns with 2nd Grade Texas TEKS:
- TEKS 2.9F: use concrete models of square units to find the area of a rectangle by covering it with no gaps or overlaps, counting to find the total number of square units, and describing the measurement using a number and the unit
This aligns with 3rd Grade Texas TEKS:
- TEKS 3.6C: determine the area of rectangles with whole number side lengths in problems using multiplication related to the number of rows times the number of unit squares in each row
- TEKS 3.6D: decompose composite figures formed by rectangles into non-overlapping rectangles to determine the area of the original figure using the additive property of area
- TEKS 3.7B: determine the perimeter of a polygon or a missing length when given perimeter and remaining side lengths in problems
This aligns with Florida BEST Standards (B.E.S.T.)
- MA.3.GR.2.1 Explore area as an attribute of a two-dimensional figure by covering the figure with unit squares without gaps or overlaps. Find areas of rectangles by counting unit squares.
- MA.3.GR.2.2 Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths using a visual model and a multiplication formula.
