Combining and Subdividing Polygons Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

In this 25-day module, students work with two- and three-dimensional figures. Volume is introduced to students through concrete exploration of cubic units and culminates with the development of the volume formula for right rectangular prisms. The second half of the module turns to extending student's understanding of two-dimensional figures. Students combine prior knowledge of area with newly acquired knowledge of fraction multiplication to determine the area of rectangular figures with fractional side lengths. They then engage in hands-on construction of two-dimensional shapes, developing a foundation for classifying the shapes by reasoning about their attributes. This module fills a gap between Grade 4's work with two-dimensional figures and Grade 6's work with volume and area.

This learning resource provides students insight into combining and subdividing figures as well as utilizing the understanding of quadrilaterals. Along with the exploration, students will be developing critical thinking through the decisions that are made to create the final mathematical product. They will also communicate through collaboration to produce a final mathematical product. They will also develop creative thinking and citizenship by producing a written piece to show their caring and understanding nature.

This lesson allow for students to begin exploring with tangrams. The hands-on activity makes connection between math vocabulary and visual manipulatives. The experience gives students time to develop deeper knowledge of shapes and what parts can make up a shape.. The book allows student to get engaged in their learning of tangrams while exploring shapes and designs. This remix provides a slight bit of scaffolding for students about tangrams before moving into the activity.
