Make finding area and length feel like a game, not a worksheet! This 3rd Grade December Edition: Finding Area & Length Riddles resource helps students practice key geometry skills while solving silly winter riddles.

Students find the area of rectangles, use area to find missing side lengths, and find the total area of two rectangles—then use their answers to decode a joke. When they solve correctly, they reveal fun seasonal punchlines like “What do snowmen call their kids?”
