Shape Up

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students calculate the surface area of composite figures. Composite figures are shapes that are made up of two or more simple geometric figures combined. Students will need to break down each composite figure into its individual components, calculate the surface area of each component, and then add them together to find the total surface area. This activity aims to improve students’ ability to handle complex shapes by understanding and applying geometric principles.

The math skill being taught in this worksheet is the calculation of surface area for composite figures. Students will learn how to decompose complex shapes into simpler ones, calculate the surface area of each part, and then combine these areas to find the total. This exercise enhances their problem-solving skills and their ability to apply geometric concepts in practical situations. By completing these problems, students will develop a stronger grasp of geometry and improve their mathematical proficiency.
