Teach students to solve the area for geometric shapes through examples and word problems. The first part is a gradual release lesson for rectangles, while the second part teaches how to find the area of triangles. I originally taught this to gifted and talented fifth graders.



This lesson by Catch My Products (formerly Gifted and Talented Materials by Joyce Lansky) is also available in Active Software for use with the Promethean Board at:


Triangles and Parallelograms



Catch My Products offers other power points for practice with perimeter and/or area:
