      TEKS 2.9F: Area

      • Finding Area Using Square Units

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can find the square area of a rectangle.

        Focuses On:

        • Finding the area of a rectangle using square units that cover the surface in straight rows with no gaps
        • Counting the square units that cover a rectangle to determine area

        Builds On:

        1.7D

        Describe a length to the nearest whole unit using a number and a unit.

        Next Level:

        3.6C

        Determine the area of rectangles with whole number side lengths in problems using multiplication related to the number of rows times the number of unit squares in each row.

        This lesson is designed to support student understanding of area.


        The two instructional blocks in this lesson focus on how to cover a rectangle with square units and then how to count the square units efficiently. 


        In the first instructional block, students use square units to cover a rectangle with no gaps or overlaps.


        The second instructional block focuses on counting the square units by using strategies such as skip counting.


        Scaffolds and supports such as pictorial models are intentionally built throughout the lesson to support conceptual learning.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How do you teach Area to 2nd graders?

      To teach Area to 2nd grade Math students, start with concrete, hands-on models, then move to pictorial representations before abstract notation. TEKS 2.9F asks students to use concrete models of square units to find the area of a rectangle by covering it with no gaps or overlaps, counting to find the total number of square units, and describing the measurement using a number and the unit. Crystal Instruction's free ClearLessons for 2.9F walk through this progression with modeling, guided practice, and built-in checks for understanding, while the ClearSheets provide scaffolded practice. You can download both free on this page.

      What is 2.9F in 2nd grade Math?

      TEKS 2.9F is a 2nd grade Math standard for Area. It requires students to use concrete models of square units to find the area of a rectangle by covering it with no gaps or overlaps, counting to find the total number of square units, and describing the measurement using a number and the unit. It is part of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Grade 2 Math.
