Exploring Multiplication With Rectangles

This particular set of activities and ideas was taken from:

Burns M., (1987). A Collection of Math Lessons: from grades 3 through 6 Math Solutions Publications, United States of America.

This activity is intended for a grade four class. It is assumed that before the students explore multiplication with rectangles, that they have a firm understanding of multiplication and are comfortable multiplying by one-digit multipliers without regrouping.
