Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references

Before you begin

Identify the labeled measurements and the quantity requested.

How to use this worksheet

  1. Model the target skill: distinguish between linear perimeter measurements and square area units. Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
  2. Check readiness first: Identify the labeled measurements and the quantity requested.
  3. Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: Boundary length, area and volume use different units and different calculations.

A common mistake to discuss

Boundary length, area and volume use different units and different calculations.

What to practice next

Label the units in one worked example and explain the choice of method.

Sample question and answer

Find the area of the rectangle below with base = 6 cm and height = 8 cm.

  • A. 52 sq cm (cm²)
  • B. 48 sq cm (cm²)
  • C. 14 sq cm (cm²)
  • D. 28 sq cm (cm²)

Answer: B. Area of rectangle = base × height = 6 cm × 8 cm = 48 square cm.

The corresponding diagram is shown in the practice preview and PDF.
