Free resources for fact fluency(addition, subtraction, multiplication or division). You could use this as an intervention at the beginning of the year if students are not fluent in basic division or subtraction facts. After you have taught multiplication it can be used for fact fluency and progress monitoring.

I use graph paper, a basic word - apple, to model how to create letters on the paper. I also draw the letters larger than single squares so that the area increases and challenges students into creating block letters rather than focusing on a single line. Although this is not necessary, it provides some challenge to the students.

Next, I focus on letters with slanted lines including k, m, n, v, w, x, y, and z. These letters will need to have special consideration depending on how the student draws the letters. These letters can individual boxes traced diagonally on the graph paper, or they can draw a straight line diagonally. The second option will result in areas that are more complicated to calculate because the students will need to combine triangular shapes. This is an option for differentiation with students' abilities for area.

During this section of the lesson one of my students commented this activity is just like the game "Minecraft". This real world connection provided the students with another opportunity to engagement with area.
