Area Green pg 384

This lesson was practically review for me.

For everyone, area has been taught to people
obviously before they are in 6th grade. This
lesson was just a half step up, to find the area
of square units. That’s basically area, but
involves a little more time in counting. The
area of a rectangle is height times base, but in
the case of a triangle, it’s height times base/2.
But this lesson did not only involve area, it also
asked to include the pattern in a set of shapes,
and tell how the shape’s area is different from
one another. Only about one thing was
different that we did in 6th grade that I didn’t do
in past years: found the area of more complex
shapes. I think the main purpose of this lesson
was to help us find the area of more complex
figures.
