Determining Area with Blocks

About these worksheets

Students learn to find the area of shapes using grid-based counting methods. Worksheets progress from counting full blocks to working with partial blocks, then move to using rows and columns for rectangular areas. Activities also include finding area by tiling, continuing area patterns, and calculating the area of right triangles on a grid. These resources align with third through sixth grade standards and help students transition from counting to using area formulas.
