Determining Area with Full Blocks

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...

Area is the amount of space that takes up the inside of a figure. To find the area of a rectangle, one must multiply the length by the width. Here, third graders are challenged to find the missing side length, given the area.

An excellent lesson that encourages young scholars 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...

Third graders find area by tiling a rectangle based on the given side lengths. This helps learners visualize and create the area of a figure. From here, they can count the total number of tiles inside the rectangle to find the answer.

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

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

Upper graders solve problems involving measurement of squares and rectangles to practice multiplication skills, finding area, and calculating prices and percentages. A performance assessment is included.

Find the area of shapes by counting the unit squares inside them. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video tutorial, or receive hints on how to find area....

Step by step, this video lesson [4:34] will show you how to add up the number of squares that cover an object in order to find the area of a figure. It is 4 of 7 in the series titled "Finding Area with Squares."...
