The pictures you are presented with will illustrate an important principle of multiplication and addition. Using the figure and the measurement find the area of the given figures and fill the blanks. The area of the given figure can be calculated using the area calculation formula, taking the whole figure as one big rectangle. You can then break the figure into two small rectangles of length. The sums of those figure will give you the total that you are looking for. Algebra is the usually associated with solving equations and expressions or determining values of portions of those. Geometry on the hand focus on studying points, lines, shapes, surfaces, and solids. When we fuse the power of each of these disciplines, they can be a powerful combination. They can be used to find unknown values that we could not determine without the carry over.

These worksheets will help you show your students how to use the calculation formula to find the areas of the smaller squares inside a rectangle in order to determine the area of that rectangle. This series is great to start to think algebraically when presented with geometry related problems. We often focus so much on one form of math that we forget that everything is related and math systems over have a great deal of overlap that we can use to our advantage and draw them out to solve problems as we need to.
