After watching the Real-World Problem-Solving and Innovation Dimension Webinar I had the students construct an area model of a house. They were to use the dimensions I gave them to construct two different rooms equaling an AREA of 88 sq. units. Students were then asked to construct a room with the product of 88 using different numbers. Students were Self Regulating while working on this task. They were asked to break down a task and make it into a different problem. Students were monitoring their work through out this process.
It's great to see students working with manipulatives to better understand the concept of area.
