Year 8 - Using measuring skills
Standard 8.MD.1.4 - Find the area of a complex figure realizing it can be split into simpler shapes.
Included Skills: Geometry
Area and volume Angle and position • Learners are able to: - calculate areas of compound shapes (e.g. consisting of rectangles and triangles) and volumes of simple solids (e.g. cubes and cuboids) - find areas of circles - devise and use formulae to calculate the area of trapezia and kites - calculate volumes of prisms constructed from cuboids, e.g. within an L-shaped cross-section - explore angles on parallel lines - understand exterior angles of triangles - know and use the angle properties of quadrilaterals - find horizontal and vertical distances using coordinates - use bearings to describe the location of one object in relation to another - use compass bearings and grid references to specify location
