Area and Perimeter Worksheets & Printables
Find a variety of free printable worksheets for practicing both perimeter and area. Various shapes and units of measurement are used. The second section features shapes that must be measured by the student first. Worksheets include answer keys.
Using given measurements, students find perimeter and/or area.
- Perimeter & Area: Rectangles (ft, m)
- Perimeter & Area: Rectangles (ft, m) #2
- Perimeter & Area: Rectangles (yd)
- Perimeter & Area: Triangles (m)
- Perimeter & Area: Triangles (ft)
- Perimeter & Area: Triangles (yd)
- Perimeter: Rectangles (cm)
- Perimeter: Rectangles (in)
- Perimeter: Rectangles (in, cm)
- Area: Rectangles (cm)
- Area: Rectangles (cm) #2
- Area: Rectangles (in)
- Area: Rectangles (m)
Students measure shapes, then find perimeter and/or area.
- Measurement: Find Area (cm)
- Measurement: Find Area (cm) #2
- Measurement: Find Perimeter (cm)
- Measurement: Find Perimeter (in)
Grade level: 3rd
Common core standards: Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish between linear and area measures. (3.MD.8) Represent and interpret data.

Ways to use it
- Start with the given-measurement rectangles, then move to the measure-first pages.
- Use the answer key page for self-checking at a math center.
- Have students show the formula or their work beside each shape.
- Have students draw a rectangle on grid paper with the same area as one on the sheet and compare perimeters.
- Use one worksheet as a quick check before or after a measurement lesson.
- Give out rulers for the measure-first pages and remind students to measure to the nearest centimeter or inch.
