To find the area of rectangles and squares.
Rectangle Sprint is a Grade 6 area game where card draws become the length and width of a rectangle.

Wild face cards can represent values up to 15, so the dimensions vary from turn to turn.
Use it for partner or small-group practice when students are reviewing area of rectangles and squares.
