Area of Polygons and Circles Five Pack - The focus here is on more standard shapes.I see these types of questions on a number of national exams.

Practice Worksheet - I add perimeter and area comparisons.

Guided Lesson Explanation - I think this is a good outline to help students really understand the concept of area.

Guided Lesson - You will work on the area of two triangles and an odd rectangle series.

Area of a Double Rectangle Step-by-step Lesson- We give you an 'L' shape and ask you to break it into two rectangles to determine the area.

Aligned Standard: Grade 6 Geometry - 6.G.A.1 These worksheets and lessons help students understand how to find indirect area of these forms and various locations using a technique that allows us to break apart irregular shapes. When we are working with two dimensional figures there are many times that we will need to know the shape that it occupies, this usually requires us to determine the length of two measures, but irregular shapes complicate things a bit. If you add the measures of all the regular shapes your sum is the measures of the irregular shape. On of the beauty things about shape geometry is that often these irregular shapes are just a stack of a bunch of regular shapes. Sometimes these figures get a bit out of hand and compound or stack upon themselves or other shapes.

We call shapes that having an out of sync set of measures and length of sides irregular. There are times where these measures will not be consistent in the same shape, and it will give off an odd appearance. It makes them appear uniform and for a lack of a better word, regular. This figures all shared the same measures of the interior angles and their sides. When we first started learning about geometric shapes we worked almost solely on regular shapes.
