New Concept: The other day I talked about picking out tiles for my house. Let’s pretend that I decided on the 1” squares. Now I need to figure out how many tiles I need for my kitchen and my bathroom. These rooms are not the same size. Imagine this is the shape for my kitchen and this is the shape for my bathroom. Do you know which one will have a bigger area? Can you tell by looking at them? Let’s measure to find out. Write the number of cubes you had for each room. Which room required more? Which room required fewer? How many do I need all together?

Whole Group Explore: Now you are going to do a similar activity.

Students will cut, glue, and count the “tiles” to determine which room needed more tiles and how many were needed in all.

Student Application: Students will cover the area of the rug with dogs.

 Number Word Focus: two
 Project: Blowing hearts to someone I love...this is difficult to explain-you will see it soon!
