Area of Parallelograms WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade, 7th Grade
CCSS: 6.G.A.1, 7.G.B.6
CCSS Description: Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume, and surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.

Area of Parallelograms WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Our worksheet ‘Area of a Parallelogram’ aims to enable your students to form a link between calculating the area of parallelograms and rectangles before they continue to solve problems.

While completing this worksheet, learners will: find the area of parallelograms drawn on centimeter square grids and those with given dimensions in all orientations, use given given areas to find missing lengths, and draw 3 different parallelograms with an area of 12cm^2 on a centimeter square grid.

Throughout students will be challenged to choose a perpendicular height over a slanted height as well as multiplying decimal numbers.
