Students construct the formula for the area of a rectangle.

Let knowledge grow bountifully like plants in a garden. Given a diagram of a rectangular garden split into plots, scholars determine the area of the entire garden and the areas of the individual plots. As a culminating activity, they...

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students examine a chart listing the size of different living rooms then answer 3 word problems where they calculate the area and perimeter of the rooms.

Help learners understand that perimeter and circumference are one in the same. Learners apply their skills to determine the perimeter/circumference of triangles, rectangles, and circles. They then use the same strategy to find the...

There's no need to think outside the box for this one! Scholars measure the length, width, and height of various boxes. Results help develop the formulas for the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.

In this calculating perimeter and area worksheet, students find the dimensions of metric rectangles with decimals. Students solve 4 problems.

Hands-on investigation of Riemann sums becomes possible without intensive arithmetic gymnastics with this interactive lesson plan. Learners manipulate online graphing tools to develop and test theories about right, left, and...

Alternate between area and perimeter with this worksheet, practicing both concepts with different shapes. Problems include examples with parallelograms, octagons, squares, rectangles, and trapezoids. The formulas are not provided,...

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 plan, they...

Perimeter is the total distance around an object. One can find the perimeter of a rectangle or square by adding all four side lengths together. These worksheets require third graders to find the missing side length, given the...

Use several shapes to practice finding the perimeter and area. Each page presents examples of different items, including money, the floor plan of a room, and a parking lot.

This is a good model for learners to visualize triangles of the same base and height. They can can begin to comprehend that these triangles will have the same area no matter how the triangle is drawn. It is part of a series of resources...

Challenge the class to devise a method to determine the dimensions of a rectangle inscribed in another rectangle. Pupils make connections between functions and geometry as they examine the area and perimeter of a square or...

How much can different shapes hold? The answer varies depending on the shape and dimensions. Individuals learn the formulas for the volume of a sphere, cone, and cylinder. They apply the formulas to find the volume of these...

Using a slider, scholars build triangular numbers and their associated rectangles and use the geometric display to find the pattern to determine the next triangular number. They then relate that number to the area of the rectangle to...

Given measurement information on individual squares within a larger shape, scholars determine the total area of that square or rectangle. For one of these three problems they draw the shape knowing its total area and the measurements of...

Learners solve and complete four various types of problems. First, they show on the diagram why the area of a triangle is given by a formula. Then, pupils find the area of each triangle and parallelogram illustrated, They also circle the...

Do your scholars have a basic understanding of area calculations? Give them an extra challenge with this irregular shape missing one of its length measurements. Using the given lengths, they figure the area of the entire shape. The...

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...

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. 

For this FOIL method worksheet, students multiply binomials using the FOIL method and the area model.  Students find the area of rectangles to investigate why the FOIL method works.  Worked examples are provided.

Fifth graders use formulas for calculating areas of squares and rectangles to find area of complex figure, compare their own ideas with their classmates' ideas, and recognize that there are multiple methods for finding area of complex...

Evaluate different aspects of geometry with one task. An assessment activity prompts learners to determine the area of a pathway in the shape of a parallelogram. The Pythagorean Theorem and area formulas for various polygons provide the...

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...
