This worksheet has 9 questions relating to the area. Students will draw the area. They will find the total area of two rectangular shapes. They will find the area of a complex shape. They will use an array to help find the area.
This worksheet reviews the concept of area and perimeter. Types of questions include the area of irregular shape, adding the total area of two rectangles, area, and perimeter word problems, creating rectangles with the same area but different perimeters, finding the unknown sides, and length times width.
In this activity, students will first begin by exploring area and perimeter. Tell your students to make a shape that has a specific area or perimeter and then give them time to explore and create. As you go, make the math challenges more difficult. When they have had a chance to explore, have them play the game. The challenge is to see how many levels they can complete. Keep in mind that the last level is unique in that students now have to create a shape with a specific area while creating fraction of shaded color like the second image below.
Teachers can create arrays and visually show how division works. Using the program students can also work on estimation, factoring, remainders, and fractions that all deal with division. Factor Pairs and Prime factors can also be shown. Teachers can use this to show why some numbers are perfect squares and some are perfect triangles. Watch the video to show how to change and use this number explorer with students.
This website provides a tool for teachers and student to create base 10 block images. There are a wide variety variables that users can change. Once finished with your image, you can save it for use on a worksheet or website.
This is a catchy tune for perimeter and area. Play this a few times, might get it stuck in s 3rd Grader's head.
This 3rd grade math assignment contains 6 quadrilaterals that have students come up with both the area and the perimeter of each shape.
It also contains 4 word problems that cause the students to think and diagram images in order to calculate either the area or perimeter.
This is a song that can help your students remember how to calculate the perimeter and area of rectangles.
