Week of May 4-8
Mrs. Cronin will be out on Tuesday, May 5th. Watch the Khan Academy Video below for a review of naming types of polygons and calculating area. You should go up to and including the section on calculating the area for trapezoids, rhombi, and kites. I am expecting this will be a review for most of you. When you are done with the video, please print out only page 1 and complete this worksheet. It is your homework for Wednesday. Oh, and BTW, I know the answers are there - but remember, it isn't the answer that matters, it is the journey to get to the answer. That means I will need to see all your work. I will be checking - no work, no credit!!! I understand that the explanations you got on Khan Academy are a little different then what you are used to. If you are looking for the "traditional" formulas for area, you can find them here.
Topics Covered
Introduction to geometric figures
Calculating the area of various geometric figures
Homework
Worksheets will be assigned as necessary
Supporting Information
This Khan Academy video is a nice overview of classifications of polygons and calculating area
