Finding Area of Trapezoids

We did an activity called Trapezoid Cut Outs today in class to help us see how to find the area of trapezoids. This activity was followed by a similar activity called Trapezoids to Parallelograms. Students worked in pairs to gather measurements about trapezoids and determine the areas of those trapezoids.

Tonight's Homework: Complete the cream colored worksheet on trapezoids. For extra credit, you can do the Magic Number worksheet (both sides).
