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...

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...

An exercise in finding the area of polygons by decomposing into triangles and composing into rectangles is the focus of this resource. Make several copies of the worksheet for each participant. Ask learners to use colored pencils to...

Practice makes proficient! Here, 10 versions make up an area worksheet in which mathematicians find the area rectangles and squares in centimeters.

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...

There's a trick to solving the area of a triangle, and it involves a skill your geometers have already mastered. Help them discover the connection between finding a rectangle's area and finding a right triangle's area as they solve for...

Practice finding the area of squares and rectangles. Complete with a grid for third graders to measure each side, this resource will be helpful. Though the shapes vary in size, they all have four sides to make measurement easy. Pupils...

An excellent activity that effectively pulls together the concepts of area, fractions, and equivalent fractions! Using 3x2 rectangular arrays, 3rd graders are introduced to the concept of area in terms of square units. Building on this...

An excellent lesson that encourages students to discover how complex figures can be broken into simpler shapes when measuring area. Working with block letters, learners are given the freedom to develop their own strategies for...

In this area of polygons activity, 9th graders solve two area of rectangles, one area of parallelogram, and ten area of triangles problems.  The formulas for finding the area of these figures are provided.

In this area learning exercise, learners read and problem solve the area of 8 triangles. Students show their work on each problem on the learning exercise.

What is the area? Because there is only one problem here with a detailed explanation below, consider projecting this as an all-class warm up. Learners examine a rectangle split into 12 squares. They know that each unit is three...

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...

In this area learning exercise, students calculate the area of 3 squares and 3 rectangles. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

What if I can no longer justify area by counting squares? Lead a class discussion to find the area of a rectangular region with irrational side lengths. The class continues on with the idea of lower approximations and...

Explore relationships between perimeter and area. Learners compare the measurement units of gligs and crocs. They use a given perimeter and area as well as specific measurement relationships to determine the scale of gligs to crocs.

Each of these rectangles is split into rows and columns. Can your scholars determine how many squares result?  The 10 word problems have space for learners to draw the shape and split it up to answer the question. Remind them that...

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...

Remodeling projects require more than just a good design — they involve complex fractions, too. To determine whether a tiling project will fit within a given budget pupils calculate the square footage to determine the number of...

Lateral area and surface area are simple concepts, but calculating them is not as easy! Using formulas, learners calculate lateral area and surface area for the same three-dimensional figures. The resource discusses the formula variables...

In this math worksheet, students find the areas for the shapes. They apply the appropriate formula for each shape that is drawn and in the word problems.

Cover some serious area in your geometry curriculum with this collection of worksheets. After first introducing the concept of area using the tiling method, this resource continues on to teach learners how to use...

This is an interesting geometry problem. Given the figure, find the area of a triangle that is created by the intersecting lines. The solution requires one to use what he/she knows about coordinate geometry, as well as triangle...

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.
