- CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP4 – Model with mathematics
- CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP1 – Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
🔧 Key Features:
- Auto-graded and randomized for individualized learning
- Engaging real-world scenarios that make geometry practical and relatable
- Suitable for classwork, homework, or review
- Reinforces understanding of geometry formulas and units
📚 Bridge the gap between geometry and daily life with this hands-on problem-solving worksheet—designed to build real-world math fluency and critical thinking in every student!
Learning Objective
Students will solve real-world word problems involving perimeter, area, and surface area of rectangles and rectangular prisms by:
- Applying geometric formulas to calculate perimeter and area of 2D shapes
- Computing surface area of 3D rectangular prisms using appropriate units
- Interpreting word problems to determine the correct geometric model
- Practicing unit conversions and real-world measurement reasoning
This activity builds practical fluency with geometry concepts while reinforcing problem-solving skills and mathematical reasoning, aligned with 7th grade geometry standards.
Randomization Available
This worksheet supports randomization, which means:
- Each student will receive different lengths, widths, and heights in the word problems.
- The units (meters, feet, square feet, etc.) remain consistent, but the numerical values and final answers will vary.
💡 Tip: When assigning this activity to your classroom, you can optionally enable randomization to give each student a unique version of the problems. When you re-assign the same worksheet, each student will get a new set of questions, helping them master the content through repeated practice.
