3rd Grade • Lesson Plan Bundle
$4.00

Lesson Plan Description

Apply the skills of finding area in square units in meaningful ways with this bundle of lessons.  Your students will collaborate, measure, and apply their understanding using grid paper and their own names.  Fun! ?   They will:

  • Segment 1: collaborate with peers, practice the “language” of math, name different situations when area is measured, define a square unit, use a square foot to measure an area, measure area by counting the unit squares, and label an area with “x” square units or units squared
  • Segment 2: Create their name on grid paper and find the area for each letter and total area for their name

These lessons can be taught over the span of a half day or you can use the lessons independently, broken up over several days.
