What educators are saying

My students needed some concrete extra practice to ensure mastery of the steps behind this concept. The worksheets helped so much and the answer keys saved me time!
This was one of my favorite resources for my after-school intervention program. I have students at completely different levels so it was really easy to differentiate! Thank you!

Description

Give your students extra practice finding the area and perimeter of composite shapes using this resource. Finding the area of odd shapes is a tricky standard for a lot of students, but this differentiated resource can help you out! Use as worksheets or cut apart for task cards and use in math centers.

This resource is differentiated. Each pair of worksheets have the same problems, but the first has all the sides labeled and the second has missing side labels.

Included worksheets

  • Worksheet 1A: Three problems with visible square units
  • Worksheet 2A: Three problems with all sides labeled
  • Worksheet 2B: Same problems as 2A, but with some missing side lengths
  • Worksheet 3A: Three problems with all sides labeled
  • Worksheet 3B: Same problems as 3A, but with some missing side lengths
  • Worksheet 4A: Six problems with all sides labeled
  • Worksheet 4B: Same six problems as 4A, but with some missing side lengths.
  • Worksheet 5A: Six problems with all sides labeled.
  • Worksheet 5B: Same six problems as 5A, but with some missing side lengths.
  • Worksheet 6A: Six irregular figures with NO sides labeled. This is for teachers to write in side labels themselves to match students' abilities. OR students can create an answer key for a partner with this page, then trade and solve.
  • Answer keys are included for all problems

12/4/21: I've added an additional worksheet to this resource.

1/5/22: Measurement units have been changed to metric units of cm, m, and km to accommodate a growing number of non USA teachers purchasing this resource.

2/25/24: I've added two more worksheets. One of them has two versions. I also updated the printing guide.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Recognize area as additive. Find areas of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems.
Look for and make use of structure. Mathematically proficient students look closely to discern a pattern or structure. Young students, for example, might notice that three and seven more is the same amount as seven and three more, or they may sort a collection of shapes according to how many sides the shapes have. Later, students will see 7 × 8 equals the well remembered 7 × 5 + 7 × 3, in preparation for learning about the distributive property. In the expression 𝑥² + 9𝑥 + 14, older students can see the 14 as 2 × 7 and the 9 as 2 + 7. They recognize the significance of an existing line in a geometric figure and can use the strategy of drawing an auxiliary line for solving problems. They also can step back for an overview and shift perspective. They can see complicated things, such as some algebraic expressions, as single objects or as being composed of several objects. For example, they can see 5 – 3(𝑥 – 𝑦)² as 5 minus a positive number times a square and use that to realize that its value cannot be more than 5 for any real numbers 𝑥 and 𝑦.
