This lesson uses the "studs" on the plastic toy bricks to represent square feet in problems that teach area. Students count the studs to determine how many square feet are in the area of various rectangles. After they understand the idea of area, they learn the formula for area (L x W) and can extend it to other problems.  In this lesson, students are also learning how to relate area to perimeter and understand the differences between the two terms. In Brick Math Basic Measurement, perimeter has just been taught in the previous chapter. Math knowledge always builds on earlier math knowledge, which is one of the most important reasons to make sure students have a strong foundation of understanding before moving on to a new concept. And the focus of Brick Math is for students to learn a deep, foundational understanding of math.  The Brick Math curriculum is divided into 13 separate content areas: Counting, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Basic Fractions, Basic Measurement, Fraction Multiplication, Fraction Division, Advanced Measurement and Geometry, Decimals, Data and Statistics, and Pre-Algebra. Students can start anywhere in the curriculum. Brick Math can be used as a complete math curriculum or brought in as a supplement to help students who aren't having math success with other programs.
