Mathematics
I can multiply side lengths to find the area of a rectangle.
Look: 3 by 6
- A rectangle is an array of squares.
- 3 rows with 6 squares in each row.
- 3 × 6 = 18, so the area is 18 square units.
Sketch each rectangle. Multiply the side lengths to find the area.
- 1.
4 by 7 rectangle
- 2.
6 by 8 rectangle
- 3.
3 by 9 rectangle
- 4.
5 by 6 rectangle
Solve. Write a multiplication sentence and the unit.

- 6.
A rectangle has sides of 7 units and 6 units. What is its area?
- 7.
Why does multiplying the side lengths give the area?

English Language Arts
I can take short notes and sort them by subtopic.
How Beavers Build Dams
Beavers cut down small trees with their sharp front teeth. They drag the logs to a stream. Then they stack sticks, rocks and mud across the water. The dam slows the stream and makes a deep pond. In the pond, beavers build a home called a lodge. The lodge has an underwater door, so foxes and wolves cannot get in.
Write each note on the right subtopic page: A = Getting wood, B = Building the dam, C = The lodge.

Social Studies
I can read a resource map and its key.
A Resource Map of Lakeland
Lakeland is a made-up state. Its map key shows five symbols: a tree means forest and lumber, a fish means fishing, a wheat stalk means wheat, a pick means a mine, and a cow means dairy farms. Tree symbols cover the cold north. Fish symbols line the shore of Big Lake in the east. Wheat fills the flat middle. Two picks sit in the western hills. Cows dot the green south.
