This math unit begins by introducing students to the concept of calculating the area of a rectangle using given side ratios and area values. It progresses by incorporating variables and fractional values into these area calculations, enhancing students' algebraic understanding and proportional reasoning with increasingly complex problems. The unit also broadens to include practical applications such as tile coverage problems, where students calculate the number of tiles required based on area, fostering spatial reasoning and application of the area concepts in practical contexts. Transitioning from area-focused topics, the unit shifts to explore the perimeter of rectangles. Here, students apply their skills to find missing side lengths using given perimeters and side ratios, with a progression towards handling variables, algebraic expressions, and fractional side ratios. This segment similarly evolves to include real-world applications such as segment coverage, requiring students to calculate how many given segments are needed to match a rectangle's perimeter. Throughout, the unit strengthens problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, and basic algebra within geometric contexts.
