Thurs Nov 24th – Solve Problems involving Area of Parallelograms, triangles and trapeziums

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Solve problems which need area of Triangles, Parallelograms and Trapeziums

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to solve problems involving perimeter and area of Triangles, Parallelograms and Trapeziums

STARTER: Quick reminder on How to find the area of a trapezium using the rule

A= ½ ( a + b)h    where a and b are the two sides of the trapezium that are parallel.

Start filling in this table then get students to complete it themselves

	Side a	Side b	Perpendicular Height	Area
a	8 cm	4 cm	5 cm
b	10 cm	12 cm	7 cm
c	7 cm	5 cm	4 cm
d	5 cm	9 cm	6 cm
e	3 m	13 m	5 m
f	4 cm	10 cm		42 cm2
g	7 cm	8 cm		22.5 cm2
