What you must be able to do...

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.

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. 

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.

NC.6.G.4 Represent right prisms and right pyramids using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use nets to find the surface area of these figures.

Apply these techniques in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems.
