Area and Perimeter of Irregular Shapes
A learning packet at Sophia with step-by-step instructions to find the area and perimeter of irregular shapes by comparing parallel sides and decomposing the irregular shape into rectangles and right triangles. A PowerPoint in the learning packet containing the examples is available for download, and could be adapted to create additional examples.
The resource presents strategies to solve two-dimensional mathematical problems involving area, and the raw examples here could be enhanced to show their real-world applications.
