Rows and Columns of Squares: what children learn
A rectangle can be split into rows and columns of equal squares, which is the groundwork for area later on. Adding the rows shows how many squares there are in all.
Rows and Columns of Squares: worked example
A rectangle has 3 rows of 5 squares. How many squares are there in all? 15
Each row has 5 squares and there are 3 rows. 5 + 5 + 5 = 15.
Rows and Columns of Squares: a common mistake to watch for
Kids sometimes mix up rows and columns, or count the edges instead of the squares.
Rows and Columns of Squares: how to help at home or in class
Lay out crackers or sticky notes in a rectangle of rows, and ask your child to count one row and then count by rows. Next, draw a rectangle on grid paper and number the first row. Ask for the total of 4 rows with 3 squares each before drawing it, then check. Once your child skip counts by rows and names rows and columns correctly, equal shares are ready.
