pdf Assessment - Area And Perimeter - MC and Open Response

This assessment evaluates student understanding of area and perimeter across multiple geometric contexts, including rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and composite figures. Students apply formulas, interpret diagrams and grid-based models, and decompose complex shapes into simpler parts to determine area or perimeter accurately.

The assessment includes a variety of problem types that extend beyond routine computation. Students analyze visual models, solve multi-step problems involving missing dimensions, distinguish between linear and square units, and apply appropriate strategies to solve both numerical and real-world measurement problems. The broad range of questions provides teachers with a comprehensive measure of student understanding and procedural fluency.

This resource works well as an end-of-unit assessment, benchmark, cumulative review, pre- or post-assessment, or geometry check covering area and perimeter concepts.
