Note from the author:
Standard [4.M.4]:
Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles to solve real-world problems and other mathematical problems. Recognize area as additive and find the area of complex shapes composed of rectangles by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts; apply this technique to solve real-world problems and other mathematical problems.

Target:
I can find the area of complex shapes made of rectangles.

Success Criteria:
I can decompose/break a part a complex shape into individual rectangles.
I can find the area of each individual rectangle using the area formula.
I understand to find the area of the complex shape that I need to add the individual rectangle's areas together.
I can correctly find the area of complex shapes made of rectangles at least 80% of the time.
