Day 132: Area of Kites and Trapezoids / Test Discussion / Decomposing Shapes

Today in Math 6 during 1 and 3°, students focused their attention on composing and decomposing shapes to derive the area formulas for trapezoids and kites.  

In Math 6 today during 2°, students reviewed their assessment from Tuesday.  All grades are posted in PowerSchool.  Any retakes for the assessment are going to be administered on Tuesday, March 22nd.  

Math 6+ students analyzed more quadrilaterals, kites and trapezoids, to decompose them into rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles which determining their area.

   

Today's Learning Targets: The student will be able to...

•  find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100. (2°)
•  solve problems involving finding the whole number, given a part and the percent. (2°)
• find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes. (1, 3, & 7 °)

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

• 1 & 3° -
• Complete page 674.
• Have 75% of 6th Grade Khan Skills mastered by March 23rd.
• 2° -
• Complete the handout from Mr. Giomini. 
• Have 75% of 6th Grade Khan Skills mastered by March 23rd.
• 7° - 
• Complete page 674.
• Have 50% of 7th Grade Khan Skills mastered by March 23rd.
• All Classes: Complete at least 10 minutes of work on Khan Academy to help review old content, practice new material, or front-load future concepts.
