This product contains 32 task cards to help students practice estimating the area of a complex shape. Each card has a square unit for students to use as a benchmark as they solve for the area of the shape. An answer sheet for students and a key are both included.

You may like my other area task card sets, as well.

Cards can be printed in color or black line masters. Laminate them for durability.
