Some documents & links will require a student log-in.

Unit 8 Learning Targets:

  • I can find the area of a triangle.
  • I can find the area of a kite.
  • I can find the area of a parallelogram, rectangle and a square.
  • I can find the area of a trapezoid.
  • I can find the area and perimeter of an irregular figure.


MN State Standards*:

  • 6.3.1.2 Calculate the area of quadrilaterals. Quadrilaterals include squares, rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids and kites. When formulas are used, be able to explain why they are valid.
  • 6.3.1.3 Estimate the perimeter and area of irregular figures on a grid when they cannot be decomposed into common figures and use correct units, such as cm and cm2
