About this worksheet

What students practice

Students find the area of a rectangle with fraction side lengths by counting unit fraction tiles.
Students show that tiling gives the same area as multiplying the side lengths.
Students multiply fraction and mixed number side lengths to find the area of a rectangle.

How to use

Work through Part 1 together so students see how many tiles fill the whole 1-foot square before they count shaded tiles. Parts 2 and 3 can be done on their own.
