This week we focused on finding the area of "L's" that is when two rectangles are connected. We also learned how to find the area of parallelograms, triangles and trapezoids. Check out the video tutorials I posted for trapezoids and triangles if you would like a refresher, or for parents, you can see how we have learned how to find the area of these shapes.
We have a test on Thursday. It will mostly be review of previous chapters, but the new stuff on it will be to find the area of a triangle, the area of a parallelogram and the area of an "L" shape as well as to multiply two fractions. Watching any of the tutorial videos from this webpage or going over the chapter 5 closure problems will be the best way to prepare for this test.

These girls are busy cutting out trapezoids to see how they can be
rearranged into shapes that are parallelograms or rectangles
and triangles. |
