MCC6.G.1 Find area of right triangles, other 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.
- Find the area of a polygon (regular and irregular) by dividing it into squares, rectangles, and/or
triangles and find the sum of the areas of those shapes.
MCC6.G.2 Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with
unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be
found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas V= lwℎ and V= bℎ to find
volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and
mathematical problems.
MCC6.G.4 Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use
the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving realworld and mathematical problems.
