Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Use Tiling To Prove Area = L X W. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.
Main Concepts
Use tiling to show that a x (b+c) = a x b + a x c.
Use rotation of rectangular arrays to show commutative property A = l x w, A = w x l (Area is 4 x 8 or Area = 8 x 4)
Use area models to represent the distributive property in mathematical reasoning.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
How do you find the area of a composite figure? What is the commutative property? What is the associative property?
After the Game
How did you use the commutative and distributive properties in the game? What happened when you tried to build the different rooms and how did you know where to put the tiles?
