Covering Rectangles with Squares

This video tutorial teaches how to partition a rectangle using same-sized squares. It begins with an introduction to quadrilaterals, focusing on rectangles and squares, and their properties. The tutorial explains the concept of overlap and how to avoid it when covering shapes. Finally, it demonstrates how to use squares to partition a rectangle without overlap, counting the number of squares needed for complete coverage.

What is a quadrilateral?

• A shape with six sides

• A shape with five sides

• A shape with four sides

• A shape with three sides

Which of the following is true about a rectangle?

• All sides are of different lengths

• Opposite sides are of equal length

• All sides are of equal length

• It has no corners

What is the main difference between a square and a rectangle?

• The number of sides

• The number of corners

• The length of the sides

• The color of the shape

Why is it important to avoid overlap when covering a rectangle?

• To save paper

• To ensure complete coverage

• To make it look pretty

• To use fewer squares
