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

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...

Young learners read 2 examples of how to write fractions to show how much of a rectangle is shaded. Then students look at  9 diagrams of rectangles that have shaded areas. They write the fractional equivalent. Then they shade 3...

Did you know one half of a rectangle be represented in more than one way? Young mathematicians choose the rectangles that represents one half with an instructive activity.

Geometry novices will enjoy this approach to finding area, as they aren't required to include units or a formula. The main objective here is to segment a rectangle into columns and rows to create squares, which then are used to find the...

If you're looking for some perimeter practice problems for beginners, you've found them! Learners reference an example that takes them through the steps of finding the perimeter of a square or rectangle. Then, they complete nine on their...

Find the area; scholars examine nine images of squares and rectangles with width, length, and units provided for each. They multiply double-digit numbers to find the area, writing it into the box provided. Because square units are...

Each of these rectangles and squares has the length and width given with units. Can scholars solve for the area? Designed for beginners to this skill, all of these are whole-number single-digit measurements. There is a detailed example...

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...

Using just the measurements of ten rectangles, scholars match them to their calculated areas. Each of these is measured in feet, so the areas are labeled with square feet. The lengths and widths here are double and triple-digit whole...

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...

A rectangles and shapes online instructional activity in which young learners determine what fraction is shaded in eight rectangles. They also answer three word problems and color the parts shown and requested on five shapes. They...

After third and fourth graders understand how to find the area of squares and rectangles, give them this sheet for practice. There are three squares and three rectangles included here, but there isn't a ton of workspace. 

When does the Pythagorean Theorem come in handy? An intriguing video uses the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems other than simply finding the length of a side of a right triangle. Pupils find the diagonal of a rectangle and the...

There are 10 word problems here, all in the same format. Learners are presented with the geometric scenario of a rectangle divided into rows and columns. They must determine, based on the number of each, how many squares are inside the...

For this online math worksheet, 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 into...

Intended for beginners to geometry, an area of a rectangle problem has scholars draw out the units within the shape. They segment it into four rows and six columns to determine how many squares the rectangle is made of and, eventually,...

What is the area? Because there is only one problem here (and it is followed by a detailed explanation) use this as an all-class warm up. Cover up the bottom half until scholars have shared their own answers. They examine a rectangle...

In this math worksheet, students 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.

Each of these five rectangles has been split into even sections and scholars must figure the area based on the segmented shapes. There are five possible answers for them to match, however none have units attached. Keep in mind this is...

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...

What is the area? Although there are no units involved, beginning geometers will get some good practice as they calculate the area for three rectangles and two squares. They match the answers to a list, however you can easily increase...

How do you show that something is a rectangle? This activity starts with four coordinate points and asks young geometers to explain whether they create a rectangle. Knowledge from both geometry and algebra come into play here, as well...

More practice provided here for your young learners! They will find the area of two squares and one rectangle. There's open workspace for your learners to calculate the area. Note that the multiplication required to solve these problems...
