Grade 3 Area and Perimeter Practice Test

Build Grade 3 math skills with five 10-question practice tests on area, perimeter, rectangles, squares, formulas, units, and measurement word problems.

Area and Perimeter Practice Tests

These Grade 3 Math practice tests help students measure the inside space and outside distance of rectangles and squares. Students use \(A = l \times w\) for rectangular area and add the side lengths to find perimeter.

Skills covered

  • Finding the area of rectangles and squares
  • Finding the perimeter of rectangles and squares
  • Distinguishing area from perimeter
  • Finding missing side lengths
  • Using square units and regular units correctly
  • Applying area and perimeter to real-world situations

How to use these practice tests

First decide whether the problem asks about the space inside a shape or the distance around it. Multiply length by width for area. Add all side lengths for perimeter, and check whether the answer needs square units or regular units.
