Using Perimeter and Area

In this perimeter and area of irregular shapes worksheet, students use unconventional methods such as using string, dot points, percentages, and more to find the perimeter and area of irregular shapes. Students complete 14 problems total.

That shape is so weird, there's no way to find its area! Show your classes that they can use grids and known formulas to find the perimeters and areas of irregular figures. Pairs develop methods to break irregular figures into figures...

In this geometry practice worksheet, students find the perimeter and area of 5 rectangles and list the answers in a chart on the page. They use grid paper to draw a square and a rectangle with the given unit measures. They complete 2...

Dawn, a fictitious student, drew a long rectangle shape in her math journal, and now your class will explore it! They find the measurements of each side, total the perimeter, and find the area. Consider using this as inspiration: have...

Go exploring around real-world objects. Pupils measure objects in the school and calculate their perimeters and areas. The 10th segment in a series of 22 asks learners to determine distances on a grid. They use those distances to...

In this perimeter and area worksheet, students review the steps to find perimeter and area. Students then use grid paper to draw the figures described in 6 questions. Students note the perimeter and area of shapes as well.

Geometers find the perimeter and area of rectangles. They discuss the definitions and characteristics of rectangles and squares. In groups, they use yarn to discover the perimeter of squares and rectangles. They count cubes to explore...

Use this perimeter and area instructional activity to have learners find the perimeter and area of shapes with right angles. They complete a total of nine problems.

Around and in—take a different look at rectangles. A portion of a basic geometry playlist discusses the area and perimeters of rectangles. Using the formulas, the presentation works perimeter and area examples with rectangles and squares.

Using coordinates to draw a rectangle, help learners understand the relationship between the given order pairs used as the vertices and the length of its joining sides. This is the second video in a series of four using geometry to solve...
