    M.6.10.1   Calculate the area of triangles (right and other) quadrilaterals, (square, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, rhombus)  by decomposing/composing into triangles and other shapes and apply these techniques for real word contexts. 6.G.A.1
    M.6.10.2   Calculate area using the formulas for square, rectangle, trapezoid, parallelogram, triangle, and rhombus.  
    M.6.10.3   Use nets of rectangles and triangles to represent and find the surface area of 3-D figures and apply to real world contexts. 6.G.A.4
    M.6.10.4   Calculate the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge length and illustrate the volume is the same as it would be using the formula. 6.G.A.2
    M.6.10.5   Calculate the volume of a right rectangular prisms using the formula V=lwh and V=Bh, with fractional edge lengths and apply to real world contexts. 6.G.A.2
