Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Using manipulatives, place squares in rows and columns within a rectangle, without gaps and overlaps, then count the number of squares it took to cover the area inside the rectangle.
Representation:
  • Given a rectangle drawn on graph paper, count the number of squares needed to fill the rectangle.

Cluster: Reason with shapes and their attributes. (Additional Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
