Math wizards learn the five-step plan to solve math word problems. They investigate the five-step process for solving word problems, and examine the use of code words for each of the operations and solve a problem using the strategies.

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.

On this area and perimeter worksheet, designers use a diagram of a Koi pool with its surrounding walkway surrounding and the appropriate mathematical formulas to solve a set of four word problems. An answer key follows the worksheet.

In this rectangles worksheet, 4th graders draw a rectangle with the same area as one displayed on the worksheet and then find the perimeter of each.

Fourth graders find the perimeter of a geometric shape by adding the lengths of the sides. They find the area of a square or rectangle by counting square units. Students use multiplication to find the area of a rectangle. They estimate...

Students participate in a math game. In the game, any math problem is allowed as long as the answer is between 1 to 100.

Students play a math game to reinforce math skills. They calculate a problem, if they have the card with the correct answer, they hold that card up. All incorrect cards go to the student holding the correct answer or the teacher.

In this similar figures instructional activity, students determine area and perimeter of rectangles and triangles, then explain their thinking. Answers included on page 2.

Fourth graders calculate volume. In this volume instructional activity, 4th graders calculate, estimate, and compare units of volume in English and metric systems.

Young scholars read and discuss the story The Corn Dolly by Terry Jones. The teacher shows the class a corn dolly and they need to design and construct furniture that is appropriately scaled for that specific dolly.

When youngsters are first gaining experience with the volume of solid figures, this is a well-suited worksheet. Nine figures, all made of unit cubes, are drawn for your class to estimate volumes with. Two simple test preparation...

Basically, your class reads about different garden plants from an included handout and seed packets that you provide, and then uses a grid to plan out where to place the plants. They can practice counting with the seeds, grouping,...

Students make fudge after reading fractional values in recipes and finding equivalent fractions to those presented in the recipes. They study measurement abbreviations.

Students demonstrate the process of creating a scaled rubber band enlargement of a simple drawing. They observe and discuss a teacher-led demonstration, and create a scaled rubber band enlargement of simple drawings and their invention...

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...

Students recognize and measure geometric shapes within abstract art. They examine quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometry and measurement.

Students examine mathematical symbols and formulas included in works of art. They analyze quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometric shapes.

Learners make a table on the computer, but create fractions and equivalent fractions through the use of color. They are able to manipulate fractions in order to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of whole number that is broken...
