Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Break a composite figure into familiar shapes and find its total area
  • Find missing side lengths needed to compute area
  • Calculate the area of a shaded region

Teaching tips

  • The circles section is marked optional, so it could be held back until students have covered circle area.

Skills covered

  • Formula recall — completing area formulas for squares, rectangles, parallelograms, triangles and trapezoids in the notes
  • Multi-step problem solving — applying the four-step sectioning process across the composite-figure set
  • Area with curves — working semicircle composites in the optional section
