2-Areas of Polygons

3-Three-Dimensional Figures and Spatial Reasoning

4-Surface Area of Prisms and Pyramids

5-Volumes of Rectangular Prisms

Area of Triangles, Polygons & Special Quadrilaterals

NC.6.G.1 Create geometric models to solve real-world and mathematical problems to:

Find the area of triangles by composing into rectangles and decomposing into right triangles.
Find the area of special quadrilaterals and polygons by decomposing into triangles or rectangles.

Volume of Rectangular Prisms

NC.6.G.2 Apply and extend previous understandings of the volume of a right rectangular prism to find the volume of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths. Apply this understanding to the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

Draw polygons on Coordinate Plane

NC.6.G.3 Use the coordinate plane to solve real-world and mathematical problems by:

Drawing polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices.
Using coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.
