Extend young mathematicians' understanding of area with a geometry lesson on trapezoids. Building on their prior knowledge of rectangles and triangles, students learn how to calculate the area of trapezoids and other...

After a tornado, an insurance company is in need of finding the area of a plot of land. Pupils use their knowledge of trapezoids and area formulas to calculate the area of the plot of land. The scholars work in groups to justify the...

Young mathematicians build an understanding of area and perimeter with their own two hands in a series of interactive geometry lessons. Through the use of different math manipulatives, children investigate the properties of...

When would a farmer use math? Class members work through five tasks on a farm that require knowledge of surface area, volume, and determining regression equations. The challenges range from figuring out the amount of paint to buy,...

All the 2-D and 3-D measurement work you need is in one location. Divided into three sections, the geometry lesson plans consist of visualization of three dimensions, classifying geometric figures, and finding surface area and volume....

Practice finding the areas of trapezoids. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Given composite figures (combinations of rectangles, squares, parallelograms, trapezoids, triangles, semicircles, and quarter circles), students will be able to determine expressions for the area as well as calculate the area of the figure.

These activities provide an opportunity for students to explore the area formulas for triangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms.
