Area and Volume Formulas Review
By Noelle W.
This 2-page packet guides 6th graders through calculating the area of triangles, parallelograms, rectangles, and trapezoids, as well as the volume of right rectangular prisms. It directly uses formulas from the STAAR 6th Grade Math Reference Sheet and is designed for independent student work.
Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this packet as a 45-minute independent review session before the quiz.
- Discussion question: How does the formula for the area of a trapezoid relate to the formula for the area of a rectangle?
- For struggling readers, read the problem statements aloud and provide a completed STAAR reference sheet for easy access.
- Advanced students can be challenged to derive the volume formula for a prism with a triangular base.
