Area is the space inside a shape. Perimeter is the distance around the outside. For rectangles, area = length × width and perimeter = 2 × (length + width).

    Area and perimeter worksheets for fourth grade work the same labeled rectangles with bigger sides, and both questions in the mix, so your child has to read which measure is asked before reaching for a formula.
