Class Topics: 03.10.15

In Math Six, students continued their work in Part Seven - Area in Geometry.  Class reviewed calculating the area of irregular polygons.  Students then worked independently for 10 - 15 minutes to solve the problems pictured below.  Once time expired, Mr. Giomini put them into groups of three to four to compare and discuss answers.  Mr. Giomini circulated around the classroom to dispel any misconceptions.

Today's Learning Target(s): The student will be able to...

1. find the area of polygons and other special quadrilaterals. 
2. calculate area for polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles.  

For Evening Practice, the student is expected to complete...

1. page 16 in Part Seven - Area in Geometry
2. 15 minutes of meaningful practice on Khan Academy.  
• Decompose Shapes to Find Area
