Calculate the Area of a Rhombus

TEKS Math: 6.8.C

(C) Write equations that represent problems related to the area of rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and triangles and volume of right rectangular prisms where dimensions are positive rational numbers

6.8.D

(D) Determine solutions for problems involving the area of rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and triangles and volume of right rectangular prisms where dimensions are positive rational numbers.

AU Math: ACMMG196

(Y8) Find perimeters and areas of parallelograms, trapeziums, rhombuses and kites (ACMMG196)

CCSS Math: 6.G.1

6.G.1 Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

This math lesson teaches students how to calculate the area of a rhombus. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for standardized assessments. In this lesson, students will identify a rhombus and use one of two methods (the product of base and height or one-half the product of the diagonals) to calculate its area. In addition to the lesson, there are two pages of independent practice and three pages of periodic review with questions modeled after standardized assessments.
