Learners find the area and perimeter of regular polygons and composite figures and examine the effect on the area and perimeter of a figure if the dimensions are multiplied by a constant. The nine page worksheet contains thirty-seven...

Students compute areas of squares, rectangles, and so on and summarize the formulas for computing areas and explain how the formulas are derived and understand the reasoning behind them.

In this geometry lesson on cylinders, geometers explore how to find the smallest surface area for a given volume.  They use their knowledge to relate it to the real world by making a model of a livestock tank.

In this perimeter and area worksheet, students solve 6 word problems where they must determine the perimeter or area of complex figures. Diagrams are provided and real world applications like gardens and carpeting are used in the problems.

Before your scholars know how to multiply side lengths to find an area, give them some practice in simply counting units. They examine shapes that have already been segmented into units, counting them to get the area. There are three...

Given measurement information on individual squares within a larger shape, scholars determine the total area of that square or rectangle. For one of these three problems they draw the shape knowing its total area and the measurements of...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers answer ten mutliple choice questions by applying the formulas for finding the area, perimeter, and volume of a rectangular prism.

In this area of sector worksheet, students solve a total of 6 problems, finding area of sector using radius and length of arc. An answer key is provided.

For this TAKS math quiz worksheet, students take an online quiz focused on finding area of shapes. Quiz can be graded online by clicking a link.

In this finding area practice worksheet, learners examine 6 rectangles and their measurements in order to calculate the area of each of them.

Your learners get solid practice calculating the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms with this worksheet. There are ten versions of the activity for their enjoyment, and yours.

What do you do when you don't think you have enough information? You look for another way to do the problem! Pupils combine what they know about finding the area of a triangle and trigonometry to determine triangle area when they don't...

Going around in circles trying to find a resource on sectors of circles? Here is an activity where pupils first complete an assessment task to determine the areas and perimeters of sectors of circles. They then participate in an...

No height? No problem! Learners use their knowledge and a little help from GeoGebra to develop the Law of Sines formula. The Law of Sines helps to determine the height of triangles to calculate the area.

We are used to finding the area of a circle by plugging the radius into an equation. Here, learners are required to go further to find multiple areas and calculate the difference. They must detect a pattern in order to figure out the...

It's a piece of pizza! Pupils learn about a sector of a circle as a slice of the circle and determine how to find its area. Scholars continue to find out how to calculate the segment of a circle based on the sector's area. At the end,...

An AP calculus lesson begins with an activity to determine the volume of a solid using a cross-section. Next, learners review the ways to find the area between two curves , as well how to find the volume of a solid created...

Is it possible for a rectangle to have the same area and perimeter? If you disregard units, it happens! In a challenging task, groups work to determine the rectangles that meet these criterion. The hope is that learners will naturally...

What if I can no longer justify area by counting squares? Lead a class discussion to find the area of a rectangular region with irrational side lengths. The class continues on with the idea of lower approximations and...

Explore the relationship between perimeter and area. Learners input the area and perimeter for shapes on the Shape Explorer website, solve problems using geoboards, complete a worksheet, create a PowerPoint presentation, and take an...

High schoolers investigate the concepts of area and perimeter. The instructional activity uses a legend to create a context for the proposed word problem. They use the skill of estimation in order to create an ox skin that is found in...

Fifth and sixth graders engage in a series of activities which show them the importance of using different types of measurement strategies. One of the primary goals of the lesson is to show learners that measurement is helpful in many...

Perimeter is the total distance around an object. One can find the perimeter of a rectangle or square by adding all four side lengths together. These worksheets require third graders to find the missing side length, given the...

In this Algebra II/Trigonometry worksheet, students use trigonometry to determine the area of a triangle or a parallelogram.  The one page worksheet contains ten problems.  Answers are not provided.
