How Many Do You See: Squares (Warm Up)

How many do you see?

How do you see them?

From Diagrams to Expressions

Andre and Elena are finding the area of this rectangle.

Andre writes 6 x 3. 

Elena writes 3 x 6.

Discuss with a partner:

How are Andre and Elena’s strategies alike?

Here is another rectangle.

Its area can be found by finding 4 x 9.

Mark or shade the rectangle in a way that would help you find its area.

Write one or more expressions that can represent your work on the diagram and show how you find the area.
