Students will practice finding the area of composite figures (irregular figures) as they rotate through 9 stations with this “Math Lib” Activity. This includes squares, rectangles, trapezoids, triangles, and semi-circles. The answer at each station will give them a piece to a story (who, doing what, with who, where, when, etc.).
This is a much more fun approach to multiple choice, and the students adore reading the story to the class. They get very excited to see which of their teachers is the “star” of the story.
Edit all story elements!
All slides are given in an editable format so you are free to personalize the story for your students. PowerPoint is required to edit. Only story elements can be changed, not the actual problems.
