Then they can see how the area formula is bxh. Same with triangles, show them how a triangle is half of a rectangle that's why we have to multiply the bxhx1/2.]]> 2022-12-06 22:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cakaduk/bpipn0smp5p1o70i/wish/2411364268 https://padlet.com/cakaduk/bpipn0smp5p1o70i/wish/2411365041 In order to teach geometry and measurement effectively, manipulative and having physical representations is crucial for this.
