Exploring the Area of Rectilinear Figures

The video tutorial teaches third graders how to find the area of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into smaller rectangles. The process involves dividing the shape into rectangles, calculating the area of each, and summing them up. Several examples are provided with measurements in different units, such as centimeters, inches, millimeters, yards, and feet. The tutorial concludes with instructions for completing an assignment and additional practice opportunities.

If one rectangle is 4 cm by 2 cm, what is its area?

• 12 cm squared

• 10 cm squared

• 8 cm squared

• 6 cm squared

What property allows us to multiply the sides in any order when calculating area?

• Distributive property

• Additive property

• Associative property

• Commutative property

How do you find the total area of a figure divided into two rectangles?

• Subtract the areas of the rectangles

• Multiply the areas of the rectangles
