This is a webpage that contains five word problems requiring learners to find the least common multiple or least common denominator.

Your geometers are used to finding the perimeter of a square or rectangle, so give them something different this time! With this lesson, small groups will receive a picture of a shoreline and calculate the perimeter. The website listed...

Students calculate the time difference between Beijing, China and their local community. They discuss how time difference affects intercultural communication.

Upper graders label four triangles and fill in the labels correctly. They draw three original triangles and answer the questions about them.

Geometers calculate the area of plane surfaces using the formulas for the area of a square, rectangle, and triangle. They develop the formula for calculating the total surface area of two geometric solids: the cube and rectangular prism.

Using a concept attainment approach, learners identify surface area and volume by sorting examples (photos) that depict each concept (positive)  from those that don't (negative). Then as a class, they develop definitions of each...

Students find the area and perimeter of rectangular figures. They use this information to find patterns and discover relationships between area and perimeter. Students apply and explain formulas relating to perimeter, area, and volume.

Fourth graders research a Florida fish to determine its length. They display this information on two index cards, which are cut to the shape of the head and the tail and attached to a string that they measure and cut to the correct...

Young scholars work on their estimation skills while enhancing their balancing skills. They walk on a rope on the classroom floor while measuring their balance skills.

Fourth graders explore the different types of ways to measure the distance between Florida and Japan.

Students analyze how the parts of a system go together and how these parts depend on each other. They comprehend the forces in terms of strength and direction. Students observe, measure and describe weather indicators.

Fourth graders are introduced and experiment with the concept of pi. Using this information, they discover the relationship between the circumference and diameter of circles. In groups, they practice measuring the circumference of...

Learners participate in guessing their partners' hidden Lego pieces from their verbal clues. They work in partners to accomplish their goals. They are meeting a variety of math standards by completing this lesson.

Fourth graders, after being given a box of cornbread mix, follow the directions to make the cornbread. They utilize measuring cups to mix all the ingredients together and incorporate adding simple fractions while mixing up the cornbread.

Students explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.

A quick definition and the formula for finding the are of a rectangle is provided at the top of this learning exercise. After reading the description, 4th graders must find the area of the 3 given rectangles by adding or multiplying....

Fourth graders work in a group of 4 to make rectangle with a 12m length of string. They discuss its perimeter and how they would calculate its area. Then another group of 4 make another rectangle and estimate if the area would be greater...

Fourth graders investigate a range of circles, each with a different radius, diameter and circumference and assemble this information in their search for relationships.The measurement of circles and the relationships to be found within...

Students examine the use of signal flags on vessels. They use measurements and symmetry to create their very own signal flag. Students work together and as individuals to solve problems and express their ideas.

Two learners are blindfolded and each receives a cardboard square, one with pompoms glued around the edge and one with pompoms glued all over the surface. They identify what they feel. The class discusses perimeter and area of polygons....

Students properly leap and measure their distance. In this leaping activity, students practice leaping for accuracy and proper form. Students estimate their leaps and measure with rulers. Students determine distance covered by the entire...

Learners conduct an experiment to study friction. They complete a KWL chart on friction and conduct an activity about the amount of friction on a moving object. To conclude, pupils create a table or graph of the data collected and they...

Students participate in experiments at five stations to practice measurement. In this measuring instructional activity, students are presented different produce and objects and must measure with an appropriate tool. Students use metric...

Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...
