About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students find the area of a rectangle with fraction side lengths by tiling a unit square.
  • Students multiply fraction and mixed number side lengths to find areas in square units.
  • Students show that tiling and multiplying the side lengths give the same area.

How to use

Do the first tiling problem together, then have students check each tiled area by multiplying the side lengths. The last section mixes tiling, multiplying, and explaining.

Fraction Areas for Pet Habitats

Tile and multiply to find the area of pet spaces with fraction side lengths.

Tile the 1-foot square

Each big square is 1 foot long on each side, so its area is 1 square foot. Use the equal tiles to find each area.

1.
Nina puts a mat in one corner of her hamster's playpen. The shaded rectangle is the mat.112/3 ft4/5 ft

The 1-foot square is split into   equal tiles.
Each tile has an area of   square foot.
The mat covers   tiles, so the area of the mat is   square foot.

2.
Which number sentence finds the area of Nina's mat by multiplying its side lengths?
  • A. 2/3 + 4/5 = 22/15
  • B. 2 × 4 = 8
  • C. 3/2 × 5/4 = 15/8
  • D. 2/3 × 4/5 = 8/15
3.
Theo puts a food tray in his turtle's tank. The shaded rectangle is the tray. Use the tiles to find its side lengths and its area.11

The tray is   foot long across the top.
The tray is   foot long down the side.
The area of the tray is   square foot.
