Area practice

We practiced and practiced today in class!

From Class:

Homework:

BYOD tomorrow!!!

Have a good night!

-Miss K  :)

Trapezoid area

Today we explored trapezoids and found the formula for the area of a trapezoid.  Notes and HW below!

Homework:

Have a great night!  Be sure to show your work on each problem in order for your homework to be considered complete.

Area of Parallelograms

Today we explored parallelograms and found that they relate to rectangles and we find area the same way!  Area = base x height

Tonight's homework:  You may use a calculator and need to show your work!

They use big numbers in the video below, but the concepts are the same!

-Miss K  :)

Finding area using various tools and relating area to square units

Today we played with a few different shapes and tools to find area.  You used rulers, square centimeters and rectangles to find areas.  Examples from class are below.

Tonight's homework is to fill in anything you missed from class and complete the last page in the packet as shown below.  If you missed class or were absent, please use the images from above to help you answer the last page to ensure that you are caught up for tomorrow (or whenever we come back to school!)

Tomorrow (or Thursday) we will begin working with parallelograms and the next day will be triangles!

Enjoy your evening and we'll see if we see each other tomorrow!

Infographic Assignment

Hello all!  Happy April Fool's Day!  Thanks for not tricking me today!

As you know, we began working on our infographics today in class.  The ones I showed you in class as well as some additional infographics are included in this previous post.  Please click on the link to see the various pictures and watch the videos.

We will finish our infographics in class tomorrow and will include the following items in our projects:

• Area of a square
• Area of a rectangle
• Area of a parallelogram
• Area of a triangle
• Area of a trapezoid
• Perimeter
• Area of irregular figures

If you have any questions about the assignment, please check in with me tomorrow during class to review the requirements, discuss ideas, get help being creative, etc!

Thanks and have a good night!

Finding Area of Simple Shapes

Today we began working with area of simple shapes.  Most of you felt pretty comfortable with finding the area of squares and rectangles, but we extended  that to parallelograms and irregular figures.

Take a look at these videos below as a reminder:

Parallelogram video:


Tonight's homework is the simple figures worksheet.  Find area and be sure to label everything with the squared exponent...

Irregular figures on a Grid

Good afternoon (or evening) ladies and gentlemen!

Tonight's homework assignment is a bit tricky, so I am including hints on how to break up each of the shapes below.  Good Luck, I hope these help!

If you want an example, we did number one in class today:

I hope this helps!

Also:  Remember that if you want to redo last night's homework, it is due tomorrow!  Here's a new copy of the assignment if you need it!

Have a good night!

Area of Irregular Figures.

(the guy says "triangles" by accident when he means "rectangles" a few times...  Sorry!


I'd use the bite method for the second one, but the explanation is good otherwise!  :)

Tonight's homework is the "Area of Simple Polygons" worksheet.  Be sure to read the problem carefully on #12.  Think of it as a rectangle with a whole cut out of it...

-Miss K  :)

Area of squares, rectangles and parallelograms.

Today we learned how to find the area of

squares

OR

rectangles

parallelograms

OR


Examples and videos from class:

Please complete both sides of the worksheet for homework tonight!  We have a quiz on perimeter and area next Tuesday, January 31st.
