Area And Perimeter Task Cards

PDF | 11 pages|Grades: 3 - 5

A set of 10 area and perimeter task cards.

Use this resource when learning to differentiate between and solve perimeter and area word problems.

Print the task cards out on cardstock at full-size or print multiple pages per sheet to create pocket-size task cards. Then put them on a binder ring for easy access to grab and go in the classroom or in math centers.

These work great as a whole class warm-up, while working with your guided math group on area or perimeter, or as a math center activity for students to work on in pairs.

We have also created a set that includes measurement conversions within the word problems making it easy to differentiate for your students. Use the drop-down menu if you would like to download this version.

An answer sheet has been included with each download.
