Chapter 8.3 Area of COMPOSITE Figures

Good Evening to all,

We are still plugging away in GEOMETY, specifically, AREA.  Area is all the "stuff" inside the shape and it is divided up into square units.  We talked and explored the area of circles and some of you found it odd that they cut up a circle into squares! We also talked about using formulas ( shortcuts) to find areas. In this lesson, we will be combining shapes and finding the areas of the whole shape, by finding the area of each shape.  Sounds tricky, but it should be easier after class today.

Meet Kiwi, Dalen's little doggie.  How sweet she looks.  

Homework: Read the blog, watch the videos and take notes in your reference spirals!
