This document provides the lesson plan and materials for a math lesson on using the distributive property to find the total area of a rectangle by breaking it into smaller parts. The lesson includes group counting exercises, factoring practice problems, an application problem about finding the area of a divided square, and a concept development activity where students use tiles to determine the areas and side lengths of embedded rectangles and express the total area as a sum of products using the distributive property. Students then work through practice problems and demonstrate their understanding through an exit ticket.
