Lesson: 5.3.3 Supplement Area of Trapezoids Lesson 5.3.3 Area of Trapezoids Teacher Lesson Plan CC Standards 6.G.1 Find the area of right triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems. 6.G.3 Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems. Objective The students will learn to find the area of trapezoids using a formula. Then they will get repetitive practice on finding the area of all the shapes we ve studied so far. Mathematical Practices #1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them #7 Look for and make sense of structure Teacher Input Bellwork: Homework: Introduction: Lesson: Review bellwork.

Student Notes SETION 1: Defining a Trapezoid A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. Notice in the figure on the right that a trapezoid has two bases which are different lengths. The two bases are parallel to each other. The height of the trapezoid must be perpendicular from the top of one base to the bottom of the other. Looking at the trapezoid below, the height is a side of the trapezoid since it is perpendicular to the base. SETION 2: FINDING THE AREA OF TRAPEZOIDS USING A FORMULA Formula: Step 1: Write down your formula. Step 2: Substitute the information from the trapezoid into the formula. Step 3: Perform the operations and write you re answer in square units. Let s try these together. You Try Independent Practice 2 P a g e
