This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to find the areas of composite polygons including shapes made of squares, rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids.

Objectives

Students will be able to

find the areas of composite polygons by breaking them down into familiar 2D shapes,
subtract areas to find the areas of shapes where one shape is cut out from another.

Prerequisites

Students should already be familiar with

finding the areas of squares, rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids,
adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing whole numbers within 1,000.
