Area of a Rectangle Teacher Resources

Third graders are challenged to draw their own rectangles given a specific area or perimeter. There are no examples of how each rectangle should look, so it is important for learners to persevere in finding a solution. There is more...

In this online math learning exercise, students calculate the area of a variety of rectangles given the measure of their vertices. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run...

These rectangles have everything scholars need to find the area, but none of them has units. Beginners to this skill multiply the length and width, all of which are whole numbers, to calculate and record the area for each. Consider...

In this middle school geometry worksheet, learners determine the area of a rectangle.  The worksheet provides an explanations and example.  The one page worksheet contains three problems.  Solutions are provided. 

In this area worksheet, students multiply to find the area of a rectangle. They are told that this is the floor plan of an attic. Students compute the number of rolls of insulation needed to cover the floor as well as the total cost to...

Area is the amount of space that takes up the inside of a figure. To find the area of a rectangle, one must multiply the length by the width. Here, third graders are challenged to find the missing side length, given the area.

In this area and perimeter of rectangles and squares worksheet, students solve 6 graphing and short answer problems. Students plot four coordinates of a rectangle or square on the coordinate plane. Students find the area or perimeter of...

Given a rectangle with specified dimensions, third graders are prompted to create a new rectangle with the same area, but a different perimeter. This challenges learners to think about perimeter and area in a new way. Use...

Don't let the title fool you; these are visual area problems. Scholars examine five rectangles segmented into rows and columns, matching them to their corresponding area on the right. There are no units involved here as this is for...

By splitting a rectangle into equal parts, scholars can see area as well as calculate it. First, they determine the area of a rectangle given its side lengths. Then, they use the space provided to segment it into four equal parts,...

In this area worksheet, students find the area of four rectangles when given the drawings with grid markings inside each. They use the area formula to find the area of five rectangles. This worksheet is intended to be used as a part of a...

In this online math worksheet, students find the area and perimeter of rectangles. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific teaching tool!

Finding the area of a rectangle is the focus of this metric worksheet. Here, mathematicians use their knowledge of finding the area of a shape in meters to discover how much material can fit inside a shape.

In this geometry worksheet, 4th graders calculate the area of 3 rectangles using the l x w x h formula. They work with the measures of centimeter, feet, and meters.

In this measurement worksheet, students study the pictures of rectangles and then give the area of each rectangle in centimeters.

In this area worksheet, students compute the area of composite figures. They read scale drawings and divide the composite figure into rectangular sections to find the total area. This one-page worksheet contains four equations.

Sixth graders fill out worksheets to find the perimeter and area of rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson plan, 6th graders color in the area and measure the perimeters.

Break out those math manipulatives, it's time to teach about area! Capturing the engagement of young mathematicians, this three-lesson plan series supports children with learning how to measure the area of squares, rectangles, and...

Let knowledge grow bountifully like plants in a garden. Given a diagram of a rectangular garden split into plots, scholars determine the area of the entire garden and the areas of the individual plots. As a culminating activity, they...

In this math worksheet, learners learn the formula for measuring the area of a rectangle by reading the information and looking at the diagram. Students find rectangular objects and measure the areas.

Teach your class about various approaches to solving the problem of maximizing the area of a rectangle space with a fixed perimeter in the context of a farmer's dog pen. Then, they complete a worksheet independently to summarize the...

In this area of polygons worksheet, students compute the area of squares, rectangles, triangles, trapezoids and parallelograms. Given the area of polygons, students determine the missing dimension of the figure. This two-page worksheet...

Does it? Kids find the perimeter and area of different shapes to assess whether their rectangle has guts. In addition to finding the area of a rectangle, learners work to find the area of a trapezoid. All worksheets are included. 

In this calculating area worksheet, students use their problem solving skills and the information provided to find the area of 6 rectangles.
