Scholars can use area formulas, but can they apply what they know about area? The lesson challenges learners to think logically while practicing finding area of shapes such as rectangles, circles, parallelograms, triangles, and other...

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...

We are used to finding the area of a circle by plugging the radius into an equation. Here, learners are required to go further to find multiple areas and calculate the difference. They must detect a pattern in order to figure out the...

What is an annulus? Pupils first learn about how to create an annulus, then consider how to find the area of such shapes. They then complete a problem set on arc length and areas of sectors.

Geometric shapes make great visual models for introducing young mathematicians to the concept of fractions. Looking at a series of four circles, young scholars are asked to determine whether or not one half of each circle is shaded. To...

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.

Develop a strategy for finding the area and perimeter of irregular figures. Building on an understanding of finding area and perimeter of rectangles and triangles, learners apply the same concepts to composite figures. After...

In this area worksheet, young scholars read story problems, draw diagrams, and find the area of described polygons. This eight page worksheet contains six problems. Answers are provided.

Learners find the area and perimeter of regular polygons and composite figures and examine the effect on the area and perimeter of a figure if the dimensions are multiplied by a constant. The nine page worksheet contains thirty-seven...

In this area of polygons worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 12 various types of problems. First, they find the area of a given square. Then, students find the length of an original square as illustrated. They also write an...

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.

First graders investigate the concept of surface area and find the coverage for the surfaces in a building that includes carpet or walls. The application of finding the area is practical using the everyday objects to help them to make...

In this composite figures worksheet, students solve 11 short answer problems. Students find the area of figures composed of various polygons. Students find the area of each figure given a sketch of the figure with various measurements...

For this composite figures worksheet, students solve twelve short answer problems. Students find the area of figures composed of various polygons given a sketch of the figure with side lengths labeled.

Students solve problems by finding the perimeter and area of an enclosed area. In this geometry instructional activity, students differentiate between the area and the perimeter. They see how they relate and how to use it to maximize an...

Students collect natural objects and draw these objects with and without shading.

Students familiarize themselves with the construct and measure menus. They demonstrate how to use the Sketchpad Calculator. They draw a triangle and construct the centroid. They shade in each of the small triangles and measure the area.

A second attack at figuring out the number of leaves on a tree, this activity makes both an excellent follow-up to version 1 and a stand-alone activity. Learners practice setting parameters and deciding acceptable estimate precision, and...

In this geometry worksheet, students practice finding the area of 11 polygons using diagrams which include units in both standard and metric measurement. They solve for the area of 11 polygons using words that describe the polygons that...

Learners hone their drawing techniques to create a nature-inspired piece of art. They practice hatching, cross hatching, stippling, and shading. They discuss how each method is better suited for creating specific elements in nature such...

The objective of this activity is to find the percent of the area of a two squares overlapping. Mathematicians find the ratio of area for the part that overlaps to the rectangle formed. The final answer is a percent as a rate per 100....

Provide your young artists with an opportunity to study the masters and their techniques to become skilled at drawing still life. They discuss and view images from artists like Degas and Michelangelo, practice drawing techniques such as...

Combine landscape with collage to create unique art pieces. Class members examine works of art before creating their own pieces with photos of a special place. Learners create a panoramic image and add in figures.

Learners investigate the Sierpinski triangle and calculate the ratio and area of the triangle. In this fractals lesson, students calculate parts of a Sierpincki triangle. They use Google Earth to help them construct the different parts...
