We have been talking all week about area. However today we really discussed that finding the area of a square or a rectangle is done simply by multiplying the length time the width. We have spent the first portion of the day looking at an area model which is smiliar to an array, but today we took the little squares out of the middle and simply multiplied. The students then had the opportunity to play a splat game reviewing time and time again how to find the area of a square or rectangle.
