positive rational numbers.
6.8B- Model area formals for parallelograms
trapezoids, and triangles by decomposing and
rearranging part of these shapes.
6.8c-write equations that represent problems related
to the area of rectangles where dimensions are positive
rational numbers.

Unit 5 Mixed Review Texas Test Prep pg 477 and 478.
Unit 9 Geometry test- TW create test using Module 15 and 16
Quizzes.
Resources/Materials:
Engage: What is a composite figure? (composite figures are not in the textbook but will most likely be tested)
Composite figure video- http://www.virtualnerd.com/tutorials/?id=PreAlg_11_01_0009 SW solve with video.
Imagine if our classroom was filled all the way full with water. How much water do you think it could hold. How
would we find out? What mathematically would this be an example of? For example the floor could be an example of
area.
Explore: TW create a 4 corners activity by placing 1 composite figure in each corner along with steps. (divide up
shape, locate formulas to use, solve for area of each, then add pieces together) Break class up into 4 groups. Give each
group about 2 minute to solve. Explore Activity 16.3-16.4
Explain: Debrief composite shapes and video. TW introduce building equations for area using word problems.
TW bring in examples of rectangular prisms or ask students to find objects around the room that are rectangular
prisms.
Whole Brain Teach (WBT) using gestures volume and area.
Elaborate: Composite (compound) Shape http://www.letspracticegeometry.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/compound-area.pdf

Guided practice 16.3 and 16.4 & Independent practice 16.3 and 16.4.
Study Guide Review: pg. 473-476- SW choose 4 members for their group and stand up. TW shout out a problem
number for groups to solve. Students must work together using UPS strategies to solve. Groups will stand when
finished as an indicator for teacher to call next number. STATION: Bring in different size boxes, SW measure and
find volume
Evaluate: 16.3 Lesson Quiz Go Math online- Area word problems include 1 composite shape
