Customers often want ribbon around fancy cakes, but how does a baker know how much ribbon to buy? Scholars view a cake with multiple layers in different geometric shapes. They must figure the perimeter and circumference and add them...

Solve five word problems involving money and weight. After studying the example at the top, which demonstrates how to write out the equation in a word problem, fourth graders work on adding large numbers in money and measurement. Here is...

Assess scholars' knowledge with a 22-page assessment that covers place value, patterns, probability, estimation, measurement, geometric figures; and their ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide proficiently. 

Find the area; scholars examine nine images of squares and rectangles with width, length, and units provided for each. They multiply double-digit numbers to find the area, writing it into the box provided. Because square units are...

In this measuring with body units learning exercise, students read examples of unusual units of length based on the body, then use these measurements to record estimated and actual length measurements of 5 common objects.

How are your learners doing with place value? Track their skill levels with a set of math assessments. The packet includes worksheets to hand out to your class, scoring checklists, a calendar for implementation, and instructions for...

Use pumpkins of various sizes to experiment with weight and perimeter. First the class lifts the pumpkins one by one, estimating each pumpkin's weight. They arrange the pumpkins from lightest to heaviest, and then string weigh each one...

Third graders use nonstandard concrete methods to estimate and record measurements of their body.

You'll never have to buy graph paper again with this printable resource, which can be used for anything from creating graphs, plotting points in the coordinate plane, or measuring the area and perimeter of polygons. A...

In this math worksheet, students measure the length, width and perimeter of objects in their home (window, rug, table, blanket, door, refrigerator and student's choice). They notate their findings and make a little book.

Learners explore the concepts of length, perimeter and area. Students develop an understanding of length, perimeter, and area. Learners calculate the area and perimeter of random shapes and calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle...

In this measurement worksheet, students measure the length, width and perimeter of objects at their school (book, desk, chalkboard, door, window, piece of paper and student's choice). Students then fill out pages with the information...

Students examine the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid. Students develop a better understanding of the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of shapes.

Students review how to use an inch ruler and listen to the story, Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. In this measuring instructional activity, students work in small groups to create an Inch Poster. Students then use an inch ruler to measure...

Third graders use whole numbers and fractions to make connections between abstractions of the mathematical world and the real world. In this fractions and measurement lesson, 3rd graders identify, quantify groups , and measure distances....

Third graders listen to Susan Hightower's, "Twelve Snails to One Lizard" and discuss the need for standard units of measurement. They make a body model on butcher paper which they use to measure their body parts and complete a worksheet....

Elementary math classes calculate the area of a shape and explain the correlation between the size of the perimeter and the areas that can be contained within that perimeter. They also explain the effect the shape of the perimeter has on...

Linear, square, and cubic units are all investigated as different types of packages are measured. The teacher will need supplies such as a box of aluminum foil, a package of ribbon, and a bag of mulch. The class determines the...

Presenting perfect practice for finding perimeter and area of a rectangle. Three rectangles are depicted, three sets of sides are listed, and one real-life application described for which youngsters compute both values. The...

Students investigate shapes as the area changes while the perimeter remains the same. Students demonstrate the shape/perimeter/area relationship using simulations and physical models.

Learners follow a series of instructions for drawing and coloring different shapes in order to learn the difference between the perimeter and area of a polygon. Then they are asked to find the perimeter and area of a 3x4 rectangular...

In this measurement lesson, students follow the instructions to draw a sandbox on a grid. Students also respond to 2 short answer questions regarding the area question.

Third graders create polygons with perimeters of 30 centimeters, use the centimeter grid paper to determine the area of each shape, and organize the shapes to make generalizations from the patterns they see.

Third graders use the book "The Greedy Triangle" to practice measuring perimeter and area. They also calculate the length of objects.
