Areas of Two-Dimensional Figures

Standards: Organize information in a neat manner.

Task:
The most common shapes in the world are rectangles, squares, triangles and circles. You will
create a booklet that presents each of these shapes. Each shape should be displayed on a
separate page that includes:
9 Title - name of the shape
9 Example of the shape from real world – this could be a clipping from a magazine, or a
realistic drawing of an object
9 Diagram of the shape with clearly marked dimensions that apply to the figure: length, width,
height, base, or radius
9 Formula for the area of the shape
9 Example of a problem that demonstrates your understanding of the formula application.
The booklet should have a cover page with the title and you name. The text of the booklet should
be typed or neatly handwritten. The use of color is a plus. Your booklet will be evaluated not only on
the contents but on the neatness of presentation as well.

I will use the following rubric to evaluate your booklet.
