Design it yourself
You are a patio designer. Ohhh myyyy.
You have [12/16/32] tiles (square bits of concrete.) What different shaped patios could you make? They must be square or rectangle.
CHOOSE ONE NUMBER AND STAY WITH IT FOR THE DAY - how many different shapes with that number?
When you are showing/proving how many are in each patio think about the stage you are trying to be. What do you have to do to be that stage? What do you have to write to show that thinking?

Student work sequenced
Just the most stunning example of not giving up and skip counting. Trying to find a square or rectangle with 32 blocks.
This boy works alone at math time. He built it and we discussed the "groups" of.
Presented this because it was a move away from materials and was a great example of using times tables to calculate area.
