Area of Polygons Worksheets and Project This product includes worksheet/note sheets on the area of polygons including squares, rectangles, parallelograms, triangles and trapezoids. It also includes a culminating project called Area of Polygons 3-D Model Project. Each worksheet comes with an answer sheet and the project comes with a rubric for easy grading. This package can be used as a stand-alone unit on area of polygons or as a supplement to your curriculum. The project could be easily adapted

This resource is a skillfully created representation of the Engineering Design Process (EDP). You will notice that the process does no include a numbered list of steps or arrows to show the direction through the process because the EDP is not a linear or prescribed process. Often times, engineers will need to revisit a previously completed step or test and modify a prototype hundreds or even thousands of times before moving on in the process. This resource comes with a blank graphic organizer th

Area of Polygons 3-D Model Project This is a hands-on and fun project for students in grades 5-7 that will reinforce what they have learned about the area of polygons and composite figures while challenging them to think three dimensionally. This is a fantastic project for teachers who use the project-based learning approach and could be easily adapted to incorporate the Engineering Design Process. This document includes a project description with a built in checklist for students to use as they

This resource is a great way to introduce the concepts of area of parallelograms. It allows students to define polygons and parallelograms while providing practice that focuses on the height of a parallelogram; the perpendicular distance from one of the parallel bases. The answer sheet can be found on TpT under M3-Ed Resources.
