appropriate units— whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
3.OA.5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply

understand concepts of area measurement.
3.OA.6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. 3.MD.6 Measure areas by counting unit squares (square cm,
square m, square in, square ft, and improvised units).
