Today in math we learned how to calculate the area of a trapezoid. Students spent the rest of the hour practicing using the formula to solve the area problems. Homework: trapezoid worksheet and a skills review sheet.
To find the are of a trapezoid:
1) add the two bases together
2) multiply by the height
3) divide by 2
Or 1/2 (base 1 + base 2) x height
