About this worksheet
A rectangle can be split into rows and columns of squares that are all the same size, with no gaps and no overlaps, and the number of squares tells the area. Second graders count the squares one by one, then learn to count them by rows: a rectangle with 3 rows of 4 squares has 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 squares. This worksheet prints six rectangles already split into squares, and your child writes how many squares fill each one.
Ask your child to count the squares in one row, say that number again for each row, and add. A finger run along each row helps keep track. Some rectangles are tall and some are wide, so the rows and columns change from one to the next.
What your child will learn
- Know that a rectangle can be split into equal squares
- Count the squares in rows and add the rows
- Find the total number of squares in a rectangle
