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.

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...

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...

Break out those math manipulatives, it's time to teach about area! Capturing the engagement of young mathematicians, this three-lesson series supports children with learning how to measure the area of squares, rectangles, and other...

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...

Geometers find the area of four circles given their circumferences. Circumference is presented in the form of "numeral (diameter) x pi"; the answer key shows solutions as  "numeral (radius squared) x pi," so computation is...

In this online math worksheet, 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 run into...

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...

Calculate the areas of scale drawings until a more efficient method emerges. Pupils find the relationship between the scale factor of a scale drawing and the scale of the areas. They determine the scale of the areas is the square of the...

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...

To determine the dimensional change to quadruple the area, class members determine how to increase the dimensions of a square and a circle to increase the perimeter by a given factor. they then calculate the necessary factor to...

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.

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...

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...

In this area worksheet, students calculate the area of squares and rectangles. Students calculate the area for 2 squares and 1 rectangle.

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...

In this geometry skills instructional activity, students solve 3 problems that require them to calculate the area of squares and rectangles by using the information provided.

In this online math worksheet, students practice finding the area of a trapezoid, given the height and length, This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A...

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...

Quilting is not only beautiful and unique—it is a mathematical art. Show your classes how to design a quilting block while practicing area and circumference of circles. Scholars create a star from a square and then find the circumference...

How can you find the area of a shape? Two shapes are provided on this simple worksheet which asks learners to find the area of the shapes. It's not as hard as it looks! You just have to count the squares! Before telling your pupils this...

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.

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 math worksheet, pupils learn the formula for measuring the area of a rectangle by reading the information and looking at the diagram. Students find rectangular objects and measure the areas.
