A triangle, square, hexagon, and circle all have a perimeter of one unit. Eighth graders must attempt to find the area of each and arrange them in order from least to greatest areas. A terrific task for applying four different...

Evaluate young mathematicians' understanding of area and perimeter with this series of three assessment tasks. Challenging students to not only calculate the area and perimeter of irregular shapes, but to explain in writing their...

Unfortunately for young mathematicians, the world isn't made entirely of parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids. After first learning the area formulas for these common shapes, students apply this new knowledge to...

Wow, that's a big pencil box! Scholars measure the area of a 15-foot pencil box among other measurement word problems. For each, they evaluate the information given to figure the area, which is sometimes not the end-all answer they are...

Get third graders excited to work find area and perimeter of unit squares, rectangles, and irregular shapes. A 36-page packet comes with task cards, graphic organizers, practice worksheets, printables with squares, exit tickets, and word...

Before your scholars know how to multiply side lengths to find an area, give them some practice in simply counting units. They examine shapes that have already been segmented into units, counting them to get the area. There are three...

In this irregular shapes worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include determining the area of various irregular shapes as shown in each. First, they divide each figure into familiar shapes. Then, students determine...

In this finding area worksheet, students solve the area of an irregular figure by reading and performing step by step operations. Students complete fourteen steps to solve and summarize finding the area.

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

In this area of polygons worksheet, students find the area of 12 polygons. Each shape is drawn on a grid. The area of each square on the grid is given. Problems are all multiple choice.

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the area of irregular polygons.  The one page worksheet contains three problems.  Solutions are provided.

Develop a strategy for finding the area and perimeter of irregular figures. Building on an understanding of finding area and perimeter of rectangles and triangles, learners apply the same concepts to composite figures. After...

Activate your geometer's minds with area calculations, some of which are tricky. First, they solve five word problems dealing only with rectangular shapes. The next five use irregular shapes with side measurements given. Scholars solve...

Not all area word problems are straightforward. Here are some trickier ones to challenge your beginning geometers. They determine the area of two irregular shapes and one rectangle using given measurements. Remind scholars to use square...

Do your scholars have a basic understanding of area calculations? Give them an extra challenge with this irregular shape missing one of its length measurements. Using the given lengths, they figure the area of the entire shape. The...

In this area worksheet, students find the area of one irregular polygon.  Students find the area by dividing the irregular polygon into multiple regular polygons.

Learners find the area and perimeter of regular polygons and composite figures and examine the effect on the area and perimeter of a figure if the dimensions are multiplied by a constant. The nine page worksheet contains thirty-seven...

In this Pick's Theorem instructional activity, students solve and graph 6 different problems that include using Pick's Theorem to solve. First, they use Pick's Theorem to determine the area of the shapes given as well as their own shapes...

For this composite figures worksheet, students solve twelve short answer problems. Students find the area of figures composed of various polygons given a sketch of the figure with side lengths labeled.

For this area worksheet, students find the area of ten figures that are drawn on a coordinate grid. Five of the shapes are triangles. Five shapes are irregular quadrilaterals.

In this composite figures worksheet, students solve 11 short answer problems. Students find the area of figures composed of various polygons. Students find the area of each figure given a sketch of the figure with various measurements...

In this math activity, students find the areas of a triangle, rectangular box, and the irregular shape. They take a portion of the area away from the source block.

In this math worksheet, students find the area and perimeter of the regular and irregular polygons. They pay attention to use the proper measurements for calculation.
