Students will be using tiles to find the area of various rectangles and squares. The tiles will be equal to 1 square unit, and the various shapes they will be tiling are different sized pieces of paper. The students will also tile one object of theirs, a phone or a calculator would work perfectly. When the students tile, they are using addition to find the area. Using the same tiles, the students will focus on the finding the area by multiplying. To do this they will count the number of tiles alongside the length and the width and will multiply their numbers found to find the area. After this, the students will compare the two ways they discovered the same area. After the lesson the teacher will model the Frayer worksheet, by completing it with multiplication. This will be used to demonstrate how to set up a Frayer Model and what is expected. After the example is done, give students the Frayer Model with the middle filled out (area) and have them fill out the 4 quadrants on their own, trying to use language and examples that differ from the teacher’s example. After they fill it out on their own they may collaborate with another student.

*Area: The extent or measurement of a surface or piece of land.

*Multiplication: The process of combining matrices, vectors, or other quantities under specific rules to obtain their product.

*Addition: The process or skill of calculating the total of two or more numbers or amounts.

*Tiling: A way of arranging identical plane shapes so that they completely cover an area without overlapping.

Formula:  A group of mathmatical symbols that express a relationship or that are used to solve a problem, or a way to make something.

Frayer Model:  A graphic organizer for building student vocabulary. This technique requires students to define target vocabulary and apply their knowledge by generating examples and non-examples, giving characteristics, and/or drawing a picture to illustrate the meaning of the word.

After the students complete the tiling activity, the students will demonstrate an understanding that the area of a given object can be found by addition and multiplication. After the teacher models a Frayer Model, the students will compose their own in regards to area to demonstrate further understanding of the concept.

*This model was developed by Dorothy Frayer and her associates at the University of Wisconsin in 1969.
*It uses a graphic organizer divided into four sections for recording information related to the concept written in the center bubble. It was developed to analyis and asses attainment of concepts. The four sections of the organizer include operational definition, characteristics or properties, examples and non-examples (From their own prior knowledge of the concepts).
