Ricky is looking for the biggest space available for his dance studio, and he has four options. Scholars determine the area of each before deciding which one he should go for. Because there is only one word problem here and the answer is...

In this online math instructional activity, students calculate the area of a variety of rectangles given the measure of their vertices. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they...

Scholars learn how to determine the area of compound shapes by finding the areas of the basic shapes that make it up. Pupils find the areas by adding areas together or subtracting them.

Even though there is a wide variety of different triangles in the world, knowing a single equation allows us to find the area of each and every one of them. Follow along with this step-by-step presentation as Zoe clearly models how to...

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....

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.

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...

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...

Surface area is the sum of the parts. Given the measurements of different prisms, pupils determine their surface areas. Individuals find the area of each surface and figure out the surface area by finding the sum. The video, part of a...

Evaluate young mathematicians' understanding of area and perimeter with this series of three assessment tasks. Challenging learners to not only calculate the area and perimeter of irregular shapes, but to explain in writing their...

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...

What is the area? Because there is only one problem here (and it is followed by a detailed explanation) use this as an all-class warm up. Cover up the bottom half until scholars have shared their own answers. They examine a rectangle...

There are several ways to estimate the area if the curve does not create nice geometric figures. The presenter introduces the idea of using areas of rectangles to estimate the area under the curve. Pupils use four types of Riemann Sums,...

In this geometry worksheet, 6th graders find the area of four squares with given measurements. Students use metric units to calculate the area of each given square.

In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the areas of rectangles. They use the formula for area of a rectangle.

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 online math worksheet, students determine the area of shaded regions within rectangles and triangles. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A...

In this area of shapes worksheet, students determine the area of equilateral triangles, acute triangles, and compound figures. This one-page worksheet contains 3 multi-step problems.  Answers are provided with this interactive...

Develop young mathematicians' knowledge of two- and three-dimensional shapes with this geometry workbook. From learning about the classifications of different shapes and figures to calculating their area, perimeter, and volume, this...

In this online math worksheet, students find the area and perimeter of rectangles. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific teaching tool!

More practice provided here for your young learners! They will find the area of two squares and one rectangle. There's open workspace for your learners to calculate the area. Note that the multiplication required to solve these problems...

In this basic shapes instructional activity, learners use formulas to determine the area of given figures. They compute the area of composite figures and subtract the area of shaded areas. This one-page instructional activity contains 12...

These rectangles have everything scholars need to find the area, but none of them has units. Beginners to this skill multiply the length and width, all of which are whole numbers, to calculate and record the area for each. Consider...

For this areas of triangles instructional activity, students observe given polygons. They determine the area of triangles, rectangles and compound figures. This one-page instructional activity contains 5 multi-step problems. This...
