Area Worksheets
Hub Page

On this webpage you will find links to all of our specific pages of area worksheets.

We have a range of different worksheets on area, including area of rectangles, right triangles and quadrilaterals.

There is also a printable formula page for finding the area of different 2d shapes.

• Area is the amount of space that is inside a shape.
• Because it is an amount of space, it has to be measured in squares.
• If the shape is measured in cm, then the area would be measured in square cm or cm²

Area of a Rectangle

• If you are measuring the area of a rectangle, then the area will equal the length multiplied by the width.
• Or Area of a rectangle = length x width.
• The area of the rectangle below is 5 x 3 = 15 squares.

Try out the app produced by PhET Interactive Simulations from the University of Colorado.

It is a great way of exploring area and perimeter in a fun and engaging way.

We have also created a few challenges that can be used alongside the app.

Our printable support page has the formulas for the area of common 2d shapes.

The sheets here include finding the area of rectangles and also finding the area of rectilinear shapes.

Rectilinear shapes are shapes made up of several rectangles.

We have a wide range of sheets suitable for students from 3rd grade and upwards.

The sheets here include finding the area and perimeters of rectangles and rectilinear shapes.

Rectilinear shapes are shapes made up of several rectangles.

We have some support as well as a wide range of sheets suitable for students from 3rd grade and upwards.

There are area and perimeter word problems as well as longer area and perimeter challenges.

This section contains worksheets on area at a 5th and 6th grade level.

We also have support pages for finding the surface area of different shapes.

The support pages include worked examples, worksheets and handy calculators that show you the working out step-by-step.

These worksheets and support will help you learn to find the surface area of a range of 3d shapes using their nets.

The 3d shapes include:

• cubes and cuboids;
• square pyramids;
• triangular prisms.

We are currently developing our resource bank of area and perimeter calculators.

The calculators will find the area of different shapes, showing step-by-step working out.
