Students complete a series of lessons involving Tukutuku patterns, their rotations and area formulae. They determine the algebraic formulae for sequences. They use images as they work through the lessons to find the number of crosses in...

Seventh graders explore the concept of area. In this area lesson, 7th graders determine what measurements are necessary to find the area of a rectangle and circle. Students use area formulas to calculate area or rectangles and circles.

At the end of this lesson plan about formulas, students will be able to identify and apply the correct formula for a given situation, solve for any unknown component of the formulas for perimeter, circumference, and area of regular and...
