This activity allows students to use some creativity to create and find the area of a polygon made of familiar shapes. Students will need to be able to calcuate the area of squares, rectangles, triangles, and trapezoids to complete this activity. Feel free to edit this document as you see fit. Hopefully your students will enjoy using their creative minds to design some very interesting polygons. Enjoy!

Story problems that require students to figure out what additional information is needed in order to be able to solve the problems. You can have them create this information or provide the same information to the entire class once they have determined what is needed. All problems include decimal numbers and they include all four operations.

Fill-in the blank notes on the coordinate plane. This also includes a coordinate plane the students can label with the information from the notes.
