About the Area Measurement Worksheet

Area Measurement introduces students to calculating rectangular areas using fractional measurements. The material presents three distinct rectangles with dimensions given in fractions of inches, requiring students to multiply fractions to find the area in square inches. The illustrations are enhanced with engaging cartoon characters and everyday objects like boxes, making the mathematical concepts more relatable and appealing to young learners.

This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Area Measurement, helps students develop their understanding of area calculation with fractional measurements. Each problem requires careful attention to fraction multiplication while maintaining proper units. Students must convert their answers to appropriate square units, reinforcing the connection between linear measurements and area units. The visual representations and clear labeling help students understand how fractional lengths contribute to area calculations.

Common Core Standards Covered

5.MD.C.5

Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.

5.MD.C.5.a

Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base. Represent threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication.
