Area Arrays by Tiling Game • Grade 3 (3.MD.C.7a) is an interactive, game-style math activity that helps students understand area as the total number of unit squares in a rectangle. In each round, students work with rows and columns (arrays) to connect visual models to multiplication.
Students complete two types of challenges:
- Write the number sentence for a displayed array (example: 3 × 4 = 12).
- Build a rectangle by shading tiles to match a target area, reinforcing that different dimensions can create the same total area.
The activity provides instant feedback, keeps score, and includes quick review support when a student misses a question by showing the correct array and equation.
This page is designed to work smoothly on desktops and touchscreens, making it ideal for classroom centers, small groups, or independent practice aligned to 3.MD.C.7a.
