Upper graders measure the area and perimeter of several items. In this area and perimeter lesson, learners engage in measuring area and perimeter in several scenarios. Full-group instruction requires students to listen to instruction and...

Students explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Learners complete word problems dealing with perimeter, area, length of sides, and more. They complete 10 multiple choice word problems.

Elementary schoolers are arranged in pairs and view the video Math Works: Measurement: The Difference Between Perimeter and Area. They discuss any prior knowledge they have of the term perimeter and then brainstorm together what the...

Dawn, a fictitious student, drew a long rectangle shape in her math journal, and now your class will explore it! They find the measurements of each side, total the perimeter, and find the area. Consider using this as inspiration: have...

Learners of all ages investigate area and perimeter through pentominoes. In this geometry lesson plan, young scholars calculate the are and perimeter of different geometric shapes and describe the properties of similar and congruent...

Find the perimeter of squares and rectangles with a straightforward worksheet. An example at the top of the page shows third graders how to find the perimenter, along with the addition problem necessary to find it. Pupils then work on...

Change up the classroom atmosphere with this interdisciplinary resource. Following along with the children's book Mr. Slaptail's Curious Contraption, these math worksheets provide practice with a wide range of topics including...

Young geometers explore relationships between units of measure and objects. Three activities provide varied opportunities to practice. Learners calculate the volume of two cylinders made by rolling a piece of paper vertically and...

In a cross-curricular measurement and literacy lesson, your class will identify and compare cooking measurement instruments. They read a recipe and sequence a set of similar instructions in which the steps have been mixed up....

Young geometers use the interactive website Cyberchase to practice calculating both area and perimeter. Real world problems encourage learners to discover that we use math each and every day. 

Learners participate in a project to map their school. They measure and graph various areas around the school. Students find the longitude and latitude of the school and research the school's history, and highlight special important areas.

In this measuring perimeters worksheet, students measure the perimeters of each rectangle to the nearest centimeter. Students solve 6 problems.

Students watch a video about a skating competition.  For this perimeter and area lesson, students watch a video on a skate off competition, draw the fields on the board and compare with the fields on the handout.  Students find...

Fourth graders practice finding the perimeter of shapes.  In this measurement lesson, 4th graders review the meaning of perimeter and work in groups to draw polygons with differing perimeters.  Students share their polygons...

Fourth graders use pattern blocks to explore areas of polygons. They explain that the answers to the area of the same polygon vary according to the units of measurement used. They visualize how different units of measurement can be used...

Students practice measuring with formulas. In this measurement lesson, students complete an activity that requires them to calculate perimeter, area, and volume.

Students measure perimeter.  In this measurement activity, students review how to find the perimeter of an object and discuss how this differs when finding the perimeter of a quadrilateral.  Students practice finding the...

In this solving the perimeter of rectangles worksheet, students use the given measurements to find the perimeters. Students solve 6 problems.

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 use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...

Bring math into the real world with these scenarios which have scholars adding and subtracting money and measurements. There are five word problems here. One involves three addends, another decimals, and another prompts learners to find...

Elementary schoolers explore how making different rectangular shapes with the same perimeter has an affect on the area of those shapes. Learners use the worksheet embedded in the plan to design their own skateboarding track. They use...

Students calculate the perimeter and area of given figures and lengths.
