Area and Perimeter Problem-Solving worksheet with Answer Key (Editable)
This worksheet is designed to help students break a shape down into smaller shapes, such as triangles, rectangles, semicircles, and so forth, to determine its area and perimeter. I find that students really struggle with areas and perimeter if there are no immediate formulas to calculate them. I also find that students struggle with the distinction between exact and approximate quantities. These worksheets "hold their hands" through the process.
