Decompose complex shapes (polygon, trapezoid, and pentagon) into simple shapes (rectangles, squares, triangles) to measure area.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Recognize simple shapes within a larger shape.
  • Identify the dimensions (base, height, length, width, etc.) of smaller shapes.
  • Multiply fractions and whole numbers.
Representation:
  • Given a picture, identify the dimensions of two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes.
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: polygon, trapezoid, pentagon, rectangles, squares, triangles, area.

Number: MAFS.6.G.1.AP.1b Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14 Cluster: Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume. (Supporting Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
