Area and Perimeter of Composite Shapes
Students calculate the area and perimeter of composite 2D shapes by decomposing them into simpler geometric figures.
Key Questions
- How can complex shapes be broken down to calculate their area and perimeter?
- What are the formulas for the area and perimeter of basic shapes like rectangles, triangles, and circles?
- How does the choice of decomposition affect the calculation process?

Planning templates for Mathematics
5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
