AREA OF COMPOSITE SHAPE ACTIVITY

Maths Challenge Activity- to keep your students engaged, thinking critically and making connections to 2D shapes.

This activity requires students to determine the area of a shape based on the given dimensions. It also encourages them to think creatively and come up with mathematical strategies to solve unknown lengths.

The aim of this activity is to:

– Increase their fluency and confidence in geometry and measurements

– Develop understanding of a variety of 2D shapes in real life problems.

In this activity, students will practice finding the area of a composite (irregular) figure involving a rectangle, a triangle and semi-circles.

 

Step-by-step solutions are also included.

 

Learning Outcomes:

  • Establish the formulas for the areas of rectangles, triangles and
  • parallelograms, and use them in problem-solving.
  • Solve problems involving the area of circles.
  • Calculate the area of the composite shape.

Comply with Australian Curriculum:

Calculate areas of composite shapes (ACMMG216)

 

Vendor Information

Welcome to my store!  

I love maths and creating maths resources that are fun, simple and engaging to encourage my students to enjoy maths.

Most of the resources that I designed start with structured notes that make it easy for students to understand the concept of the topics and then followed by lots of activities (quizzes, worksheets and a little game corner) to keep them engaged and practice their new skills.

My passion is to encourage kids to love maths and to help teachers to prep their maths classes with little preparation. I believe that mathematics is an essential skill that will help children in their future life.

I want to inspire children to see mathematics as an exciting and creative process.

I always love knowing when my resources help them to develop their own unique problem-solving skills. I also want to help teachers by providing resources that make maths classes more enjoyable and effective.
