This area challenge puzzle activity includes three challenge puzzles that help high school geometry students practice finding the area of triangles, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, rhombi, and kites. Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the measures they need, and Version 3 also requires right triangle trigonometry.
Challenges Included:
- Version 1: Triangles, Squares, Rectangles, Parallelograms, & Trapezoids (requires Pythagorean Theorem)
- Version 2: Triangles, Squares, Rectangles, Parallelograms, Trapezoids, Rhombi, & Kites (requires Pythagorean Theorem)
- Version 3: Triangles, Squares, Rectangles, Parallelograms, Trapezoids, Rhombi, & Kites (requires Pythagorean Theorem and Right Triangle Trigonometry)
How It Works:
Each puzzle is one large figure with many missing measures. Students work through the figure step by step, using the measures they have already found to find the next ones. This makes challenge puzzles a great way to stretch thinking beyond routine practice. Use them for review days, early finishers, extra credit, or enrichment.
