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.
