What equation does the text recommend for teaching area? Why does the text recommend this equation?
What will be an ideal response?
The text recommends using “base x height” when teaching area. This equation is better than “length x width” because it is more closely related to the equations for finding area of other figures. If the area of a rectangle is taught as “base x height,” then the relationship between the area of a rectangle and the area of a triangle is easier for students to conceptualize.
