Area of Parallelogram

At the end of the lesson students will understand how to identify the height and base of a quadrilateral to estimate and calculate the area of parallelogram. 

At the end of this unit  students should be able to estimate and apply measurement formulas to parallelograms and trapezoids and whole number dimensions.

In this lesson students will identify the height and base of a figure and apply the appropriate formula in order to determine the area of a parallelogram.
