Area of Plane Shapes 1 Learning Goals Students will be able to: o Understand the broad definition of area in context to D figures. o Calculate the area of squares and rectangles using integer side lengths. Area Introduction The area of a shape is the amount of flat surface enclosed by the shape. Area is measured in square units such as; square millimetres (mm ), square centimetres (cm ), square metres (m ), square kilometres (km ) etc... If a shape is drawn on 1-centimetre grid paper, its area can be found by counting the number of squares that the shape covers. Example 1 ~ Count the number of squares to find the area of the shape drawn on this centimetre grid. a) b) cm cm Area of Squares & Rectangles A square is a plane figure with four equal straight sides and four right angles. o The area of a square can be calculated by multiplying two adjacent sides together. o Area (A) = side side s OR s s s OR s Example ~ Find the area of the square figures below: a) b) 4 mm 4 mm 8 m mm m
A rectangle is a plane figure with four straight sides and four right angles, especially one with unequal adjacent sides, in contrast to a square. It is important to note that every square is classified as a rectangle but not every rectangle will be considered a square. o Area (A) = base height height OR b h base NOTE: The area formula for a rectangle can use different names for sides (e.g. length and breadth) Example 3 ~ Find the area of the rectangular figures below: a) b) 6 mm 11 m 9 mm 4 m mm m

Area of Rhombuses & Kites Both rhombuses and kites don t have outside edges that are perpendicular. However, the diagonal lengths in both of these shapes are perpendicular. Multiplying these together produces a larger rectangle twice the size of the original shape, hence we halve the result.

Paper Land Ships Objectives: 1. Create a paper ship using plane shapes that will glide atop several desks.. Calculate the area of your land ships sail and base. 3. Your land ship must be able to be propelled by a single fan. Equipment: Coloured paper (you can pick as many as you want) 15 cm of tape Scissors Glue sticks Ruler Activity: You will be required to make a paper land ship. You must abide by the following rules. You will be working in pairs You can create your land ship by o Folding one plane shape (the shape can be composite) o Attaching two plane shapes together. One for the sail, one for the base (the shape can be composite) You will need to fill out your planning proforma before building your land ship After the 0 minutes are complete, we will see which ship can be blown across tables the fastest.

Reflection Questions 1. Evaluate the effectiveness of your land ship.. How do you think the area of the base affected how fast the land ship travelled? 3. What shape would you use for the base if you could do this activity again? Why would you choose that shape? 4. How do you think the area of the sail affected how fast the land ship travelled? 5. What shape would you use for the sail if you could do this activity again? Why would you choose that shape?
