Developing Formulas for Circles and Regular Polygons
Formulas and procedures for finding the area and circumference are not provided on this handout, so it will be best used as a practice of already-acquired skills. It is a well-rounded assignment, however, as it includes diagrams,...
Illustrative Mathematics
Equal Area Triangles on the Same Base II
A deceptively simple question setup leads to a number of attack methods and a surprisingly sophisticated solution set in this open-ended problem. Young geometers of different strengths can go about defining the solutions graphically,...

Area of 2D Shapes
In this area worksheet, students commence solving for area of squares and rectangles, and continue to parallelograms and triangles, and continue again to rhombi and trapezoids and finish with circles, polygons, and shaded...
Curated OER
Area of Composite Polygon
Eighth graders are shown a blueprint of a house and must determine the amount of carpet needed. In groups, they calculate the area of rectangles and triangles and apply them to the shapes in the blueprint. To end the lesson, they...

Find the Area
In this find the area worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 18 different types of problems. First, they find the area of a figure with consecutive sides. Then, students find the area and perimeter of a square shown. They also find...
Curated OER
Perimeter All Around
Students explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Applying Angle Theorems
Polygon ... an empty bird cage? After finding the angles of a polygon, young mathematicians use the provided methods to solve the problem in multiple ways.
Curated OER
Areas of Polygons
Young scholars calculate the are of regular polygons. In this geometry lesson, students create polygons on the computer and move it around to create different shapes. They explore the area of different polygons and how they inter-relate.
Curated OER
Area is Always Flat, But It's Not Always Regular
Young scholars calculate the area of regular and irregular polygons by counting the number of whole an half squares within the polygon. They determine the formula for regular polygons and label the area in square units.
