What educators are saying

This was a great way to practice finding area of composite figures. The students were engaged and enjoyed being creative by coloring/decorating the pennants to display in the classroom.
My students loved using this activity. They were engaged the whole time and we used the banners as decoration in the 6th grade hallway. I will definitely use it next year as well.

Description

Students find the area of composite figures made of rectangles and triangles in this activity that doubles as classroom décor. Some of the irregular shapes are nets (rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, square pyramids, triangular pyramids). There is no need to know surface area formulas or the formula for the area of a trapezoid to compute any of the areas.

Once each pennant is complete, it can be hung on a string in your classroom to show the world that, "Hey, we know how to find surface area of nets!"

Included are 20 pennants, an optional student answer sheet, a quick 1-page answer key and a full answer key. Each group of students can be given a set of pennants, scissors and either glue, tape or a stapler. Students can be in charge of cutting out the pennants. Groups can compete to see which group can complete the most pennants or your entire class can add pennants to one string as they complete each one. You may also choose to have your students color their pennants to add to your classroom décor.
