Reading Corner Carpet Squares: Tile and Multiply

Cover rugs with carpet squares, then check the area by multiplying the side lengths.

Part 1: Lay the carpet squares

The class is fixing up the reading corner. Each carpet square is 1 foot long and 1 foot wide, so it covers 1 square foot. The squares fit with no gaps and no overlaps.

Mr. Diaz covers a rug spot with carpet squares.

Add the carpet squares row by row: 5 + 5 + 5 = carpet squares
Multiply the side lengths: 3 × 5 = square feet

Match each tiled rug to the multiplication fact that tells how many carpet squares cover it. One fact is not used.
