Students have been using area formulas dealing with squares and rectangles. We have been focusing on setting up and solving real life word problems that involve area. We have looked at pricing carpet for a living room, at putting a bid in to stain a deck, and determining the number of rolls of wallpaper needed to cover a room. All of the things we have been doing in class this week are so relevant to the real world. I hope that my classes will take this new knowledge and try to apply it in their life.
