Family facing 6th Grade math unit focusing on area and surface area.
In this unit, students learn to find areas of polygons by decomposing, rearranging, and composing shapes. They learn to understand and use the terms “base” and “height,” and find areas of parallelograms and triangles. Students approximate areas of non-polygonal regions by polygonal regions. They represent polyhedra with nets and find their surface areas.

Convert metric measurements to U.S. Measurements and the reverse, too. Easy to follow tables have sections for area, length, mass,temperature and volume.
Students develop an understanding of areas as how much two-dimensional space a figure takes up, and relate it to their work with multiplication from Units 2 and 3.
Student-made monsters on grid paper are a great way to stimulate comparison problem-solving.
Use Pi (3.14) to find the area and circumference of a circle.

A Hawaiian kapa artist explains how she uses area and measurements as part of her art-making process in this video from the Center for Asian American Media. In the accompanying classroom activity, students watch the video and learn how the artist finds the area of cloth that she can create with one cup of tree bark fiber. Next, students find how many cups of tree bark fiber they would need for kapa cloth to cover various surfaces around the classroom. To get the most from this lesson, students should have experience using a constant of proportionality to find proportional relationships.
Find the area and perimeter of quadrilaterals using their coordinates. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
