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...

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...

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

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

After third and fourth graders understand how to find the area of squares and rectangles, give them this sheet for practice. There are three squares and three rectangles included here, but there isn't a ton of workspace. 

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...

In this area of triangles instructional activity, learners find the area of each triangle in the word problems. Students complete five problems.

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...

Given the measurements of three rectangular rooms, scholars determine the area of each. They are given units, so remind them to use square units in their answers. No side measurements exceed 20. Can your scholars measure the classroom...

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...

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.

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...

There's a trick to solving the area of a triangle, and it involves a skill your geometers have already mastered. Help them discover the connection between finding a rectangle's area and finding a right triangle's area as they solve for...

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...

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...

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...
