Area of Complex Figures + Ratios - Real World Multi-Step and Projects GATE
I love to teach geometry because students must combine logic, visual perception, and math to solve problems. Why not add art and history into the mix as well?
Here is a challenging unit to reinforce basic understanding of calculating the area of complex figures. It will challenge the brightest students in your classroom!
We use vintage hotel and restaurant signs to solve problems about calculating the area of complex figures.
We begin with the basics and then ramp the level of challenge u

Friday Math -- Sports Pennants Geometry Design for 21st Century Learners
Powerful visual-mathematical connections with hands-on design challenges. . .
Everyone likes to cheer for someone, and the traditional pennant has been a mainstay of “fandom” for more than a century. Tried, tested, and refined with GATE nonverbal ability 4th and 5th graders, this lesson should be a hit with 6th grade, 7th grade (or beyond) too!
In this lesson, students use geometry, number sense, and measurement skills to design their own pennants. The keyword is PRECISION in these designs.

Problem Based Learning Compose 2D Shapes
Problem Based Learning requires real-world, standards based inquiry that fosters collaborative learning teams and integration.
Here is a PBL task for composing 2D shapes to create composite shapes.
Students use 6 trapezoids to compose enough seating for a Birthday Party that has 18 guests. A floor plan is provided in which learning teams must find various ways to compose the 6 trapezoid tables to allow enough room for food, gifts, cake, and a dance or game area.
