Unit 6: Area and Volume
17 days
Priority Standards
6.G.1 Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by
composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques
in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
TE STANDARDS for MAHEMATICS
6.G.2 Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with
unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as
would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas V=1 w h and V
= b h find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving
real-world and mathematical problems.
Supporting Standards
6.G.3 Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to
find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.
Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
6.G.4 Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use
the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving
real-world and mathematical problems.

Unit Design
Determine Big Ideas (lifelong
understandings)
1. Finding area of geometric shapes will help
me make a clubhouse that my friends and I can
play in.
2. Bring able to find volume will help me
determine how much water my fish aquarium
needs.

Write Essential Questions (Answer Big Idea,
hook student interest.
1. How could finding area help to design a
clubhouse for my backyard?
2. How does understanding volume help you to
understand the size of containers? (pool,
aquarium, refrigerator, etc.)
