This is a great PPT that helps students visually understand this concept. Great animations and interactive pieces. My one small ask would be for those of us who don't have 1:1 devices. We did this whole group, and I'd love to have worksheets/mats that go along with the concept on the screen. Thank you!

This was a great resource for my students to start understanding the concept of area. I used it full class and let students drag the units with their finger on my computer screen. It ended up being a very interactive lesson and I felt that by the last slide my students were confident and ready to start our area unit.

In addition to my work in education, I also run a STEM-based Christmas Light Show business. When I'm not creating new math resources or working with teachers, I'm designing and fabricating light shows sequenced to music with my husband and our team. That business came about after our family was featured on ABC's The Great Christmas Light Fight. My son attends the University of Texas, Austin and I'm currently soaking up every last minute with my daughter, a high school senior.
