1. How can I find the area of this polygon without counting each square tile?

2. In this lesson you will learn how to find the area of a polygon by adding the area of smaller rectangles.

3. Let’s Review Area tells us the amount of space a polygon takes up. Area

4. Length Width

5. 4 units 3 units 4 x 3 =12 square units

6. A Common Mistake Multiplying the two straight side lengths. I added in two bars that appear to show multiplying the two sides before you bring out the whole rectangle.

7. Core Lesson 5 units 2 units 5 x 2 = 10 square units

8. 10 square units 3 units 3 units 3 x 3 =9 square units

9. 10 square units 9 s q u a r e u n i t s 10 square units + 9 square units 19 square units

10. Hey Valerie, Do you think you can edit slides 10-14 based on my revisions to slides 7-9? I have so many other slides to get through and I think you have a good handle on how to do this. The biggest things are: - Making sure text comes in letter by letter - Making sure all animation comes in in a logical order and that the slide starts blank As always let me know if you have questions!

11. Core Lesson 7 units 2 units 7 x 2 =14 square units

12. Core Lesson 14 square units 2 units 2 x 2 =4 square units 4 square units

13. Core Lesson 14 square units 4 square units 2 units 4 units 4 x 2 =8 square units

14. Core Lesson 14 square units 4 square units 8 square units 14 square units + 4 square units + 8 square units 26 square units

15. In this lesson, you have learned how to find the area of a polygon by multiplying. Whoops! This objective does not match slide 2– I think that slide 2 is the one you want to use, but I wanted to double check.

16. Guided Practice How can I find the area of this polygon without counting each square tile?

17. Extension Activities Draw 5 polygons with more than 4 sides on grid paper. Find the area of each polygon by breaking them into smaller rectangles and adding the areas.
