Rectangle Area Grid Measurement

A community garden needs new rectangular patches. Each small grid square represents 1 square centimetre. Use rows and columns to work out the area, then help plan the patches.

Spot the area

Remember: area is the space covered inside a flat shape. We measure it in square units.

1.Talia covers a rectangular garden patch with square tiles. What does the area tell her?
  • How far it is around the patch
  • How much space is inside the patch
  • How tall the patch is
2.A grid square has sides that are 1 centimetre long. What is the area of one square?
3.Garden patch A has 3 rows of 4 equal square tiles. Find its area. Include the multiplication sentence and the unit.
4.Patch B has 2 rows and 6 columns of square tiles. How many tiles cover it? Show how you worked it out.
5.Patch A and Patch B have different side lengths. Do they cover the same area? Explain using their row-and-column totals.
6.Choose the multiplication sentence that gives the area of a rectangle with 5 rows and 3 columns.
  • 5 + 3 = 8
  • 5 × 3 = 15
  • 5 × 5 = 25
7.A seedling patch covers 16 square tiles. It has 4 rows. How many columns does it have?
8.Draw a rectangle that covers exactly 8 grid squares. Write its number of rows, number of columns, and multiplication sentence.
9.A rectangular herb patch has 4 rows of 5 grid squares. Write its area in square centimetres and explain a quick way to find it without counting every square.
10.True or false: A rectangle with 2 rows and 7 columns has an area of 9 square units. Correct the statement if it is false.
TrueFalse
11.Oliver says, “A rectangle with 3 rows and 6 columns has an area of 9 because 3 + 6 = 9.” What mistake did Oliver make? Give the correct area.
Draw a rectangle with an area of 12 square units. Label its rows and columns. Possible designs include 3 × 4 or 2 × 6.
