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...

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...

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

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...

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...

Given a rectangle with specified dimensions, learners are prompted to create a new rectangle with the same perimeter, but a different area. This challenges third graders to think about perimeter and area in a new way. Each problem...

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.

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...

Using just the measurements of ten rectangles, scholars match them to their calculated areas. Each of these is measured in feet, so the areas are labeled with square feet. The lengths and widths here are double and triple-digit whole...

Third graders measure area by counting unit squares inside a rectangle.

Practice makes proficient! Here, 10 versions make up an area learning exercise in which mathematicians find the area rectangles and squares in centimeters.

Get third graders excited to work find area and perimeter of unit squares, rectangles, and irregular shapes. A 36-page packet comes with task cards, graphic organizers, practice worksheets, printables with squares, exit tickets, and word...

How many sides does that polygon have? Building directly from instructional activity 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...

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, young scholars apply this new knowledge to...

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...

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...

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.

Given a rectangle with specified dimensions, third graders are prompted to create a new rectangle with the same area, but a different perimeter. This challenges learners to think about perimeter and area in a new way. Use...

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...

Engage young mathematicians in applying their knowledge of area and perimeter with a fun geometry lesson. Through a series of problem solving exercises, children use their math knowledge to design different-sized garden...

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....

Geometry novices will enjoy this approach to finding area, as they aren't required to include units or a formula. The main objective here is to segment a rectangle into columns and rows to create squares, which then are used to find the...
