Students will find the area of polygons (including irregular shapes) by decomposing them into smaller, known shapes like triangles and rectangles.
Students will understand and apply formulas to find the area of triangles and parallelograms, including decomposing and rearranging shapes.
Students will draw polygons in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane given the coordinates for the vertices.
Students will find the surface area of right prisms by developing and using nets, understanding that surface area is the sum of the areas of all faces.
Students will find the volume of cubes and right rectangular prisms using unit cubes and by applying the formula V = lwh.
