Comparing Area WORKSHEET
Comparing Area WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet is designed to help students understand and compare the areas of different rectilinear shapes. Combining analytical skills with creative thinking.
In section A, students are presented with pairs of shapes and are asked to compare the areas using inequality symbols. Shapes have been selected to encourage pupils to think about the effect of a hollow area and more.
Next, section B asks learners to sort shapes according to whether their area is greater, less than or equal to 10 squares.
Then, in creative section C, students are asked to draw shapes based on specific area requirements.
All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students will develop their understanding of finding the area of rectilinear shapes by counting squares, which is a key skill at this level. The worksheet helps them recognise that shapes can have the same area even when they look different, and challenges them to think about how hollow sections affect the total area calculation.
