OBJECTIVE: Find the areas of triangles and trapezoids(7-7, Pp278ff)[1.2.3][1.2.1] ACTIVITIES: Review the formulas based on the mini-la activity from prior lesson, i.e., averaging the height and finding the length of the base. List all area formulas to date [incl: square, rectangle, parallelogram] Emphasize the difference between PERIMETER and AREA. NOTES: Major emphaiss on the set-up and procedure fro solution including the formula. HOMEWORK: p600(7-7) even BE SURE TO LIST THE FORMULA FIRST!!!!!!
