Main Concepts
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What is the formula for finding area? What unit do we use for area of an object? How would you multiply two numbers, like 3 x 4? If you multiplied 3 meters x 4 meters, what would the resulting unit of measurement be?
After the Game
How did "decomposing" an irregular shape help you find the area of it? After finding the area of the separate shapes, what did you need to do to find the total area of the object? How would you find the area of a rectangle measuring 2 feet by 8 feet? Captain Hooky has another treasure chest on a new island: it has a keyhole shaped like a T, and we need to know the area of the whole to make a key for it - how would you decompose a T-shape into rectangles? If the top of the T measures 3 meters by 9 meters and the bottom part of the T measures 10 meters by 3 meters, what is the total area of the T?
