Give your classes practice at modeling using quadratic models with a resource that uses area and integer problems to allow individuals to create second degree polynomials. Young mathematicians solve equations using factoring and then...

Looking for a quick introduction or review for area formulas?  Terminology and formulas for the area of squares, rectangles and triangles is presented. Connections with exponents and the Pythagorean Theorem are demonstrated.

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...

Seventh graders practice finding the area and perimeter of polygons. In this polygon area lesson plan, 7th graders brainstorm shapes and take a walk to locate shapes. Students record properties of shapes and use various shapes to...

In this geometry worksheet, students solve 10 problems regarding area, scale factors, and circumference. Students, in 3 of the problems, are given the circumference and asked to work backwards to find missing information.

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine area and perimeter of rectangles, given the width and the length. The one page interactive worksheet contains ten questions. Answers and hints are included. 

Students practice using the formula to calculate the area of a square or triangle. They participate in large group guided practice using simple area of squares problems then complete a series of problems calculating the area of rectangles.

The objective of this activity is to find the percent of the area of a two squares overlapping. Mathematicians find the ratio of area for the part that overlaps to the rectangle formed. The final answer is a percent as a rate per 100....

Investigate the area and perimeter of polygons in this geometry lesson plan. Young geometers use grid paper to draw a quadrilateral and calculate its area and perimeter. They also read The Greedy Triangle to identify the changing shape...

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...

Polynomial multiplication and factoring go hand in hand. Why not teach them together. This resource begins with an area model for distributing a monomial and then connects the process to factoring the GCF. Learners then advance to...

Here is a presentation that's chock full of great tips on how to memorize multiplication facts, and how to calculate the area of shapes that aren't perfect squares or rectangles. Many good problems are in each of the slides. A great...

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.

There is only one area calculation problem here, and it is followed by a detailed explanation. Consider projecting this as a teaching tool, covering the answer until learners have shared their own. They are instructed to draw a rectangle...

Get started with area calculations using a simple shapes activity which could serve to introduce kids to this formula and the concept of units. They partition rectangles into columns and rows to determine the area based on the resulting...

In this perimeter and area instructional activity, students review the steps to find perimeter and area. Students then use grid paper to draw the figures described in 6 questions. Students note the perimeter and area of shapes as well.

These squares and rectangles have length and width measurements with decimals; can young geometers determine the exact perimeter of each? Using a step-by-step example as guidance, they show work to find the perimeter of each of these...

In this perimeter and area worksheet, learners find the perimeter and area of polygons. They use the proper formula to find the perimeter and area of circles, parallelograms, triangles, and rectangles. Students complete solve ten problems.

In this online math activity, students determine the length and width of given rectangles given their area. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A...

Seventh graders find the area of irregular polygons. In this lesson on calculating area, 7th graders use the adventures of Lewis and Clark as motivation to learn how to calculate the area of irregular polygons.

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...

Don't let the title fool you on this one; there aren't any word problems here. Scholars examine five rectangles that have been partitioned into rows and columns, determining the area based on these equal square units. Units aren't...

Start a trend by using blirts and gorks as your standard unit of measures. The activity asks learners to take a known measures of blirts and gorks and develop a conversion ratio. Individuals use both perimeter and area measures of...

For each of these eight rectangles, scholars write out the multiplication sentence to find the area given the side measurements. They use an example for reference and must remember to include square feet in their answer. All measurements...
