Third graders find the area of rectilinear shapes by partitioning them into two non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts together. It allows learners to recognize area as an additive.

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...

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...

Mathematicians calculate the area of a tangram piece without using formulas. They use a geometry journal to record activities during this lesson. They make a set of tangrams and use them to compute area. They use...

In this perimeter and area worksheet, students solve 6 word problems where they must determine the perimeter or area of complex figures. Diagrams are provided and real world applications like gardens and carpeting are used in the problems.

How many sides does that polygon have? Building directly from lesson number eight in this series, learners now find the area and perimeter of any polygon on the coordinate plane. They decompose the polygons into triangles and use Green's...

Although there are grammatical errors in these word problems, they provide a good opportunity for scholars to practice calculating area. Each of the 10 scenarios gives measurements of a specific rectangular space, including units....

Find the area; scholars examine nine images of squares and rectangles with width, length, and units provided for each. They multiply double-digit numbers to find the area, writing it into the box provided. Because square units are...

Each of these rectangles and squares has the length and width given with units. Can scholars solve for the area? Designed for beginners to this skill, all of these are whole-number single-digit measurements. There is a detailed example...

Third graders are exposed to finding the area of polygons by decomposing figures and recomposing them into rectangles. This strategy allows children to expand on their prior knowledge of constructing shapes by rearranging parts into...

Have your learners practice finding the perimeter and area of geometric shapes using this resource. While just a simple review, this could be a wonderful way to solidify the concepts in their minds.

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.

In this calculating area worksheet, students use their problem solving skills and the information provided to find the area of 6 rectangles.

Young mathematicians build an understanding of area and perimeter with their own two hands in a series of interactive geometry lessons. Through the use of different math manipulatives, children investigate the properties of...

Pupils figure out how to be resourceful when tasked with finding the area of a triangle knowing nothing but its endpoints. Beginning by exploring and decomposing a triangle, learners find the perimeter and area of a triangle. They...

Wrap up a lesson on surface area with a resource that asks scholars to use the idea of wrapping paper to investigate surface area. They draw representations of rectangular prisms on graph paper to find the areas of the respective...

What? The calculation of area is a linear distance? A short video shows how to use the areas of simple polygons to estimate the area under a graph. Pupils divide the area under a curve into figures to easier calculate the area. Given...

Third graders find areas of rectangles by using square units, apply knowledge to real-life situations, and simplify method of counting square units by multiplying the length times the width.

Apply area calculations to everyday situations using these three word problems. Mathematicians must pay attention to the needs of each space, determining the largest or smallest area of several options. Consider expanding on this by...

Here is an area of parallelograms practice worksheet in which learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve six story problems.

In this area and perimeter of rectangles and squares activity, students solve 6 graphing and short answer problems. Students plot four coordinates of a rectangle or square on the coordinate plane. Students find the area or perimeter of...

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...

Introduce learners to two methods to estimate the formula for the area of a circle. The first method uses a sector of a circle to form a rectangle, and the other uses grids to estimate the area. The problems in the 18th segment of a...

Not all structures take the shape of a polygon. The 21st lesson plan in a series of 29 shows young mathematicians they can create polygons out of composite shapes. Once they deconstruct the structures, they find the area of the composite...
