Evidence 1 Evidence 2
Checking student's understanding
1. Can you explain what you have done so far?

Encouraging conjecturing
1. What would happen if you add the length and breadth, found the difference between the length
and breadth, multiplied the length and breadth, divided the length by the value of the breadth?

2. Do you see a relationship between the area with the use of the unit squares and the operations
you did with the length and breadth of the rectangles?
