Learning area formulas are not only helpful in the context of math class, but being able to find areas is also a very helpful tool in real life. Trying to figure out how much paint you need to paint a wall is a real life example of why it is important to know how to calculate the areas of specific shapes (created by Harvard global Day of Service Volunteers).

This worksheet shows how to find the areas of specific quadrilaterals. It is important to notice how each quadrilateral differs in shape and way to calculate area (created by Harvard global Day of Service Volunteers).

The volume of a shape is how much physical space it takes up. Volume does not only have importance in math classes but it is also something that is very useful during science classes as well (created by Harvard global Day of Service Volunteers).
