Learners use their hands, feet, computer, and rulers to measure the perimeter of objects. In this measurement lesson plan, students measure objects around the room and computer generated shapes.

Learners calculate the perimeter of rectangles and squares. They imagine trying to build a fence around a yard or trying to determine how much paint they need to paint a room. They also develop formulas and procedures for determining the...

Learners investigate the concept of perimeter. They design there own figure and measure the perimeter of it. The lesson is given the context of the shape being a path that is traveled by a ladybug. This provides the shape of the plane...

In this measuring worksheet, students use a centimeter ruler to measure the perimeter of 3 figures. They then draw 4 shapes in the grid on the page.

Six questions make up a mixed practice worksheet. Scholars use their knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication, money, perimeter, ounces, and pounds to solve word problems with numbers up to 66,000.

Students explore geometry by participating in a school measuring activity. For this perimeter lesson, students discuss the techniques and methods used in order to measure a large perimeter or geometric figure. Students utilize grid...

In this perimeter worksheet, students solve 2 word problems, drawing or writing to explain their answers. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

Third graders review formulas for area and perimeter in quadrilaterals. They arrange pre-cut twine on a centimeter graph paper to create non-congruent quadrilaterals. They calculate the perimeter and area of each form.

Students work in groups to make accurate measurements. In this area and perimeter measurement lesson, the student groups determine what they will measure and what tools they will need, then find the accurate measurement or area,...

In the process of constructing their own "rulers" Students develop a sense of the size of a centimeter and meter. Students select the appropriate "ruler" for the tasks. Finally, 3rd graders calculate the perimeter of objects using...

Students explore area and perimeter. In this math lesson plan, students differentiate between area and perimeter and compute the area and perimeter of an object.

Third graders use estimation, fractions and decimals to determine the perimeter of objects in the classroom. They are given a worksheet with a list of the items on it. The worksheet has columns beside each of the items for estimation and...

Students explore area and perimeter through coordinate geometry using student literature, hands-on manipulatives, and the Internet.

Students engage in a study using technology in order to attempt the comprehension of using perimeter and area. They use powerpoint to solve different problems. This helps to keep learners engaged in the process of practice and...

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students solve 2 different problems that include a few parts to each. First, they determine how many units shown are the area and perimeter of particular shapes. Then, students draw how they would...

With the help of the Area Officers and Perimeter Patrol, you learners will develop a better understanding of area and its relationship to perimeter. First, they view a video clip from Cyberchase, and then they visit a website to...

Beginning geometers use tiles and grid paper to draw and calculate perimeter and area. Rectangles of different sizes are created and then measured to build understanding. The one-inch grid sheet referenced is attached. 

Reinforce math concepts of multiplication, division, area, cups, and perimeter, with a mixed practice worksheet that offers five word problems.

Paste this resource into your lesson plans like you'd paste a tile onto a mural. Given a diagram of a tile mural with rectilinear figures, future artists determine the perimeters and areas of the figures. They must then develop their own...
