About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students find the area of a rectangle by tiling it with unit squares and counting.
  • Students show that the number of tiles equals the product of the rectangle's side lengths.
  • Students use rows and tiles in each row to find an area without counting one by one.

How to use

Use after students have covered shapes with real square tiles or sticky notes. Have them trace one row with a finger before multiplying, and ask them to write square units with each area.
