Description

Common Core Area Unit: Area of Composite Shapes - Composing & Decomposing Area. This is a mini-unit for teaching Common Core area concepts. It covers the following area of composite shapes concepts:

-understanding that area is additive

-putting two rectangles together and finding the total area

-breaking apart composite shapes into rectangles and finding the area

-writing equations using the rectangle dimensions (axb)+(cxd)

-writing addition equations for area

-problem solving with area

Every lesson is differentiated with support and challenge ideas. You'll also find lots of higher order thinking questions to help students truly understand the concepts.

You'll get:

-detailed lesson plans

-a checklist of materials and prep for every lesson

-differentiation support and challenge ideas for every lesson

-colorful, engaging, and CLEAR slides to help students see the concepts

-engaging, hands-on activities to get kids interacting with the concepts

-an assessment checklist to help you track data

These Common Core Area of Composite Shapes lessons are also available in one big set. Click here for the Area Unit Bundle (standards 3.MD.5-8).


** Please note: This unit is very similar to unit 7c: Area and the Distributive Property. About half of the lessons follow the same format, but with the key difference that this unit focuses on two rectangles that make a composite shape, and 7d uses two rectangles that combine to make one larger rectangle.

Recognize area as additive. Find areas of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems.
