Unit 4: Geometry

1. What are the properties of polygons, and how do they differ from other shapes like circles?
2. How can we find the area and perimeter of two-dimensional shapes, including irregular ones?
3. How do we find the volume of a rectangular prism, especially with fractional edge lengths?
4. How can we calculate the surface area of a three-dimensional shape?
How can we use two-dimensional figures to help us visualize and understand three-dimensional figures?
5. How can you find the area of a polygon by decomposing (breaking down) it into other, more familiar shapes like triangles and rectangles?
6. How are two-dimensional nets used to visualize and calculate the surface area of three-dimensional figures like prisms and pyramids?

1. Solve for area on the coordinate plane.
2. Calculate the area of triangles, quadrilaterals, and complex polygons by decomposing into rectangles and triangles.
3. Plot points on a coordinate plane to draw polygons based on given vertices.
4. Use coordinates to find the lengths of horizontal or vertical sides of a polygon on a coordinate plane.
5. Calculate volume and surface area of 3D shapes.
6. Represent three-dimensional figures as two-dimensional "nets" (flat patterns) to calculate total surface area.
