SIXTH GRADE ACADEMY: Working on area and perimeter


Sixth Grade Academy School students in Mrs. Agemak’s math classes have been working on area and perimeter.  

Recently they were exploring surface area by measuring boxes as a group. They had to measure it as a 3D shape and then cut it apart to form the shape's net (2D drawing of a 3D shape).  Once they had the net made, they had to figure out the area of all the shapes combined and it should have been the same as the shape's surface area.  

This activity was done to practice finding the area, surface area and decomposing/composing shapes. The kids loved it and they all did a great job working together and problem solving!
