About this worksheet

What students practice

Students split a rectangle into smaller rectangles and add their areas to find the area of the whole.
Students write equations such as 4 × 7 = (4 × 5) + (4 × 2) to match a split area model.
Students use known facts to find the area of a rectangle with a harder side length.

How to use

Use after students can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying. Have students color each part of a quilt a different color before they write the matching equation.
