AREA & PERIMETER WORKSHOP

Part 1: Word Problems
a. The Pasadena Soccer Field measures 110 meters long by 90 meters wide. Teacher Maricel asked

110m

b. Felipe´s SMART TV measures 50 inches of length by 43 inches

of width. He wants to know what the area of his new SMART TV
is. Can you help him find it?

c. Mr. McGregor wants to plant vegetables in his vegetable garden. He planted ½ of the area with
tomatoes, ¼ of the area with cucumbers, 1/8 of the area with parsley and 1/16 of the area with

illustrate Mr. McGregor´s garden and show procedure.

d. If the total area of Mr. McGregor´s vegetable garden is 128m2, what is the area planted with
cucumbers? What is the area planted with parsley?
¼ of 128= X 1/8 of 128=X
Cucumbers Parsley
Part 2: Tangram Area Practice TO KEEP IN MIND!

1. Fill in the chart. An example is provided for you below.

OPERATION & RESULT RESULT COMPARED TO

AREAS AREA T (The whole
Tangram)

A+B ¼ + ¼ = 2/4 or 1/2 ½ of T

C+E
D+F+
A 1/4 of T
G
B 1/4 of T

B+D C 1/16 of T

D 1/8 of T
F E 1/16 of T

F 1/8 of T
G+D
G 1/8 of T

Organize your results from the least fraction to the greatest fraction:
_________________________________________

2. Answer:

• How many times is area C contained in area A?

• How many times is area E contained in area B?

• How many times is area C contained in area G?

• How many times is area C contained in area D?

• How many times is area E contained in area F?

3. Circle the correct answer.

Using area E to measure the different areas, we get the following results:

• Area A is:
a. 1/16 of T
b. 2/16 of T
c. 4/16 of T

• Area G is:
a. 1/16 of T
b. 3/16 of T
c. 2/16 of T
 • Area B is:
a. 4/16 of T
b. 2/16 of T
c. 2/8 of T

• Area F is:
a. 1/8 of T
b. 3/16 of T
c. 2/16 of T

4. Match each piece of the tangram with its corresponding fraction, using different colors.

A 1/8 One eighth

B 1/16 One sixteenth

C 1/4 One fourth

D 1/8 One eighth

E 1/4 One fourth

F 1/16 One sixteenth

G 1/8 One eighth

5. Represent each of the given amounts by coloring the corresponding pieces in the
tangram.

8/16 6/8
 3/4 9/16

6. A student shows these results to her teacher. Are they correct? Can you identify the incorrect

ones? Tick or cross as it corresponds inside the parenthesis. Then, correct those

results that you find as not accurate.

• A + B + C = 9/16 of T ( )

• C + E + G = 6/8 of T ( )

• A + B + G + F = 6/8 of T ( )

• C + E = 1/16 of T ( )
