CHAPTER 4 - MRS. POPPINGTON SEES THE WORLD (MP) Area and Multiplication

Students will know... ...how to use formulas for finding **area of rectangles, parallelograms, triangles and trapezoids** ...how to use the **distributive property** ...how to **find the area of complex figures** using sub problems

Students will... ...be able to integrate area concepts into everyday life

Activities
 * Utilize vocabulary of geometry related to lines, angles and polygons
 * Develop and use formulas to find the area of rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids
 * Identify sub problems to find areas of more complicated figures and to solve other mathematical problems
