Monday- Wednesday April 15-17

During these three days we are going to be looking a area of polygons and using the formulas to solve. Many times the students are going to have to decompose these polygons (break them up) into simpler polygons like triangles, trapezoids, or parallelograms.

here are some videos to help review area and formulas:
