NYS Math Module 3 Grade 4 Lesson 36 Problem Set


1. a. In each of the two models pictured below, write the expressions that determine the area of each of the four smaller rectangles.
b. Using the distributive property, rewrite the area of the large rectangle as the sum of the areas of the four smaller rectangles. Express first in number form and then read in unit form.
14 × 12 = (4 × __ ) + (4 × __ ) + (10 × __ ) + (10 × __ )
