Determining Area with Square Units

Don't let the title fool you on this one; there aren't any word problems here. Scholars examine five rectangles that have been partitioned into rows and columns, determining the area based on these equal square units. Units aren't...

Each of these rectangles and squares has the length and width given with units. Can scholars solve for the area? Designed for beginners to this skill, all of these are whole-number single-digit measurements. There is a detailed example...

What is the area? Because there is only one problem here with a detailed explanation below, consider projecting this as an all-class warm up. Learners examine a rectangle split into 12 squares. They know that each unit is three...

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...

A more challenging set of worksheets, third graders are required to measure area by counting whole and partial unit squares. Students will realize that two partial blocks make up one whole block. Each shaded figure is on a square unit grid.

Here's how to calculate the areas of polygonal figures. In this measuring area lesson, upper graders use hash marks to create and count square units. They also problem solve a cyberchase activity watching Quicktime videos.

Third graders simply count the square units that make up each figure in order to find the area. Remind the class to count carefully in order to find the correct answer.

In this lesson students will practice finding the area of rectangular shapes and irregular shapes with right angles and understand why the area formula works for rectangular shapes. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.C.5.b A plane figure which can...
