What Is Area?

• Use multiplication to find the area of rectangular sports spaces.
• Label answers in square units.
• Compare areas and explain your equations.
• Apply CCSS 3.MD.C.7 to real-world sports fields and courts.

Rectangle area: A = length x width.

Square units describe the space covered by a court, field, rink, pool, or track.

Sports Field Area in Action

A coach is preparing sports spaces for a school event. Students use length and width to find the area of a soccer training grid, basketball court, tennis court, pool lane, and running track.

For each rectangle, multiply its length by its width, write the answer in square units, and explain how the dimensions help the team plan the space.

Comparing areas helps students decide which courts and fields are larger and justify their reasoning with an equation.
