THE NEWARK PUBLIC SCHOOLS Office of Mathematics MATH TASKS Measurement and Data 3.MD.7.a-d Geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and addition. Goal: Students recognize area as an attribute of two-dimensional regions. They measure the area of a shape by finding the total number of same size units of area required to cover the shape without gaps or overlaps, a square with sides of unit length being the standard unit for measuring area. Students understand that rectangular arrays can be decomposed into identical rows or into identical columns. By decomposing rectangles into rectangular arrays of squares, students connect area to multiplication, and justify using multiplication to determine the area of a rectangle. Essential Questions: How is area related to multiplication? How is the area of a rectangle determined? For what purpose do you calculate area?

Multiplication Concepts Multiplication can be defined in terms of repeated addition. For example, 3 6 can be viewed as 6 + 6 + 6. More generally, for any positive integer n, n b can be represented as n b = b + b + + b, where the sum on the right consists of n addends. A rectangular array provides a visual model for multiplication. For example, the product 3 6 can be represented as By displaying 18 dots as 3 rows with 6 dots in each row, this array provides a visual representation of 3 6 as 6 + 6 + 6. An equivalent area model can be made in which the dots of the array are replaced by unit squares. Besides representing 3 6 as an array of 18 unit squares, this model also shows that the area of a rectangle with a height of 3 units and a base of 6 units is 3 6 square units, or 18 square units. Multiplication is a binary operation that operates on a pair of numbers to produce another number. Given a pair of numbers a and b called factors, multiplication assigns them a value a b = c, called their product. Multiplication has certain fundamental properties that are of great importance in arithmetic. The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not change the product. That is, for all numbers a and b, a b = b a. The array model can be used to make this plausible. For example, because 3 6 = 6 3, an array with 3 rows and 6 dots in each row has the same number of dots as an array with 6 rows and 3 dots in each row. Another important property of multiplication is the Identity Property of Multiplication. It states that the product of any number and 1 is that number. That is, for all numbers a, a 1 = 1 a = a. The Zero Property of Multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by zero, the product is zero. That is, for all numbers a, a 0 = 0 a = 0. Page 3 of 27
Teaching Tips Teaching Tip 1 Digit Name vs. Digit Value Stress place value in multiplication by distinguishing between the name of the digit and the value it stands for. The 2 in 24 stands for 2 10 = 20, not 2. Base-10 blocks and area model diagrams emphasize the value that each digit stands for because they use expanded notation to build the answer. Teaching Tip 2 Drawing Rectangles for an Area Model The area model is an alternative and efficient way to multiply. Encourage students to draw rectangles, even though the rectangles may not be drawn to scale. If students need to use base-10 blocks as a transitional step, change the numbers in the problems to match the quantity of blocks that are available. Teaching Tip 3 Using an Area Model to Record Multiplication Is it okay to permit students to use the area model as a recording method for multiplication? Yes. An area model not only helps to explain why the standard algorithm commonly taught in the United States for multiplication works, it is an efficient recording alternative. Some students (especially visual learners and those who have difficulty keeping numbers lined up in multiplication problems) may prefer it. Furthermore, this method has certain benefits. It illuminates important mathematical concepts (such as the distributive property), allows for computational flexibility (expanded notations allow students to use derived facts), and reinforces the concept of area. Finally, when students take algebra, they are likely to see the area model when they learn to multiply and factor polynomials. Page 4 of 27
Multiple Representations to Multiplication In the identity 3(4 + 5) = 3(4) + 3(5), the 3 is distributed over the 4 and the 5. Distributive Property a(b + c ) = ab + ac and (b + c )a = ba + ca Commutative Properties of Multiplication a b = b a 3 4 = 4 3 (3 4) 5 = 12 5 = 60 or 3 (4 5) = 3 20 = 60 Associative Properties of Multiplication (a b) c = a (b c ) Area Model 4 cm 3 cm = 12 cm 2 2 2 = 4 Array Model Interpret products of whole numbers 5 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each Page 5 of 27
