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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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. 

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

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...

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...

As they investigate scaling figures and calculate the resulting areas, groups determine the area of similar figures. They continue to investigate the results when the vertical and horizontal scales are not equal. 

How can you find the area of a shape? Two shapes are provided on this simple instructional activity 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...

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.

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve problems involving area of a triangle.  The worksheet contains a combination of problems drawn on a grid and those with the dimensions labeled.  The two page worksheet contains...

In this geometry learning exercise, 10th graders determine the area of regular polygons.  The two page learning exercise contains eight problems.  Answers provided. 

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.

Students explore the concept of area.  In this area worksheet, students find the area of trapezoids given a drawing and given equations of lines.  Students answer 9 multiple choice 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...

For this areas of triangles instructional activity, students observe given polygons. They determine the area of triangles, rectangles and compound figures. This one-page instructional activity contains 5 multi-step problems. This...

Intended for beginners to geometry, an area of a rectangle problem has scholars draw out the units within the shape. They segment it into four rows and six columns to determine how many squares the rectangle is made of and, eventually,...

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...

Practice finding the area of squares and rectangles. Complete with a grid for third graders to measure each side, this resource will be helpful. Though the shapes vary in size, they all have four sides to make measurement easy. Pupils...

Challenge the class to devise a method to determine the dimensions of a rectangle inscribed in another rectangle. Pupils make connections between functions and geometry as they examine the area and perimeter of a square or...

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.
