Slide 2 Slide 3 Slide 4 Slide 5 Slide 6 In Pairs: 1.Estimate the
area of each trapezoid 2.Use the matching sticker to make a
parallelogram. Find the area of the parallelogram 3.Use what you
know about the parallelogram to find the area of the trapezoid
Slide 7 Discussion When you calculated the area of your trapezoid
by turning it into a parallelogram, is it the base that doubled? Or
the height? Slide 8 What part of your formula will be different
from the formula for a parallelogram, the base or the height? Slide
9 In Tribes Discuss How can we calculate the base portion of any
trapezoid? Use what you now know to create an equation to represent
the area of any trapezoid Slide 10 MATH CONGRESS Slide 11 Homework
Take home 2 trapezoids from your group and use the area equation
established in class, along with measurement calculation rules, to
find the area of those 2 trapezoids Slide 12 Slide 13
