A triangle, square, hexagon, and circle all have a perimeter of one unit. Eighth graders must attempt to find the area of each and arrange them in order from least to greatest areas. A terrific task for applying four different...

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...

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

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...

In this geometry learning exercise, high schoolers solve the area of 2D shapes starting with squares, rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, rhombi, trapezoids, circles, and ending with area of shaded regions. There are 20 questions.

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...

Wow, that's a big pencil box! Scholars measure the area of a 15-foot pencil box among other measurement word problems. For each, they evaluate the information given to figure the area, which is sometimes not the end-all answer they are...

Not all structures take the shape of a polygon. The 21st lesson 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 figure.

In this area worksheet, students compute the area of circles, parallelograms and rectangles.  This one-page worksheet contains 5 multiple-choice problems.  Answers are provided in this online worksheet.

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 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...

An excellent lesson that encourages students to discover how complex figures can be broken into simpler shapes when measuring area. Working with block letters, learners are given the freedom to develop their own strategies for...

Go beyond the basic formulas and uncover the surface area and volume of 3-D shapes with this comprehensive and organized activity packet. The problems include the basic formula computations while also challenging your learners to derive...

Learners follow a series of instructions for drawing and coloring different shapes in order to learn the difference between the perimeter and area of a polygon. Then they are asked to find the perimeter and area of a 3x4 rectangular...

In this area activity, students commence solving for area of squares and rectangles, and continue to parallelograms and triangles, and continue again to rhombi and trapezoids and finish with circles, polygons, and shaded...

In this area of polygons worksheet, learners solve 7 short answer and multiple choice questions about area.  Students find the area of triangles given base and height, or points in the coordinate plane.

In this compound shapes worksheet, students solve 40 problems in which the area and perimeter of compound shapes is calculated. There are instructions and examples on this page, which is intended to be used on-line, but can be completed...

For this area of polygons worksheet, students find the area of 12 polygons. Each shape is drawn on a grid. The area of each square on the grid is given. Problems are all multiple choice.

Cover some serious area in your geometry curriculum with this collection of worksheets. After first introducing the concept of area using the tiling method, this resource continues on to teach learners how to use...

In this area of polygons worksheet, students find the area of rectangles.  They find the width when given the area.  Students graph rectangles and solve word problems involving rectangles.  This three-page worksheet...

For this trapezoid worksheet, students examine given data and compute the area of trapezoids.  They identify the base and height of each figure.  This one-page worksheet contains 18 problems.  Answers are provided.

Learners draw the given shapes to be bigger than they are and find the surface area and volume of each shape. They complete this for two shapes.

Finding the area of a rectangle is the focus of this metric worksheet. Here, mathematicians use their knowledge of finding the area of a shape in meters to discover how much material can fit inside a shape.
