A cumulative review and hands-on design task where students apply all area skills learned in the sequence.

Learning that the total area of a large rectangle is the sum of its parts, introducing additive area concepts.

Comparing the areas of different garden plots and identifying that different shapes can have the same area.

Given the total area and one side length, students use division or multiplication facts to find the missing side length.

Applying area concepts to real-world scenarios like rugs, tabletops, and floors using word problems.

Practicing the area formula on rectangles where only the side lengths are labeled, transitioning away from visible grids.

Moving from counting individual squares to multiplying length by width to find the area of rectangles.
