This tool allows you to create worksheets of word problems at varying levels of difficulty where students must calculate the area or perimeter of different polygon shapes. You can choose to set up the page using any of these polygon...

Students can use the data to explore the relationship between area and perimeter for rectangles and circles and they will make generalizations about the shape of the rectangle that will produce the smallest perimeter.

Practice finding a missing side length on a rectangle when given the other side length and the area. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Brush up on your math skills relating to rectangles then try some practice problems to test your understanding.

Count unit squares and partial unit squares to find the area of shapes.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students find the area of squares and rectangles. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional videos and attempt...

This activity is adapted from one of the TI books. Students measure lengths and widths of rectangles and record for the class to see. Each group's rectangle has the same perimeter, but different areas. After a discussion, students make...

This applet will show you how to divide the parallelogram into pieces, arrange them together to form a rectangle, and then use the formula for the area of a rectangle to find the area of the parallelogram.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Choose appropriate tools and units for given measurement situations involving squares and rectangles.

Brush up on your math skills relating to the area of rhombuses then try some practice problems to test your understanding.

Using a limbo set, students will participate in learning about perimeter and area of a rectangle. Students will explore how the area and perimeter changes as the limbo pole is lowered. This lesson plan was created by exemplary Alabama...

The interactive applet allows learners to explore the relationships between side length, area, and perimeter. Students see how changes in the scale factor influence the ratio of areas and perimeters. [Requires Java.]

The geometry tutorial investigates rectangles. Topics included are diagonals, area, and perimeter. The activity has several examples with detailed solutions.

Determine the area of a rectangle by multiplying the sides.

This activity operates in one of two modes: auto draw and create shape mode, allowing you to explore relationships between area and perimeter.

In this task, 6th graders must inches to feet in order to find the area of a rectangular board and explain the error in the calculations made by the board owner. Aligns with 6.RP.A.3.

This task asks students to determine the area of the exterior walls of a barn and to calculate how many gallons of paint would be needed to cover them, as well as the cost of the paint. Aligns with 6.G.A and 6.RP.A.3.

Use area to understand how to multiply monomials by polynomials. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this Cyberchase video segment, the CyberSquad learns what happens to the area of a rectangle when the shape enclosed by the perimeter changes.

This fifth-grade lesson explores the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths. We tile the rectangle with unit rectangles and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. We multiply...

This tutorial provides a brief introduction about what area is, then gives the formulas for area of a square, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, triangle, and circle. Examples of each formula are provided.
