To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.  

Building blocks have more uses than simply entertaining children. Young mathematicians calculate the volume of a given cube, and then calculate the volume and surface area of a prism formed from multiple cubes.

Your middle schoolers will show what they know with their bodies when they become the coordinate plane in this conceptual development unit. Starting with the characteristics of the coordinate plane, learners develop their skills by...

Young scholars explore measurements and geometric formulas. In this geometry lesson, students investigate pi as it relates to geometry. They collect data and use a chart to organize the data.

In this geometry instructional activity, students solve 6 problems in which the area of a trapezoid is calculated. There are no examples and no formula is provided.

Point your class in the right direction in plotting points with three activities that give scholars a chance to learn about and practice plotting points on a coordinate plane. They draw figures on the coordinate plane and list out the...

Congruent figures: two figures that want to be just like each other. Individuals learn to distinguish between figures that are congruent and those that are not. Measuring the lengths of line segments and angles helps in this endeavor.

Sixth graders practice graphing coordinates. In this geometry instructional activity, they use the x and y axis to locate points that must be connected in the right sequence to form a straight line.

The class gets their mean and median all in a row with an assessment task that uses a population of ducklings to work with data displays and measures of central tendency. Pupils create a frequency chart and calculate the mean and median....

Sew up your unit on operations with decimals using this assessment task. Young mathematicians use given rules to determine the amount of fabric they need to sew a pair of pants. They must also fill in a partially complete bill for...

Explore different representations of numbers. Scholars convert between fractions, decimals, and percents, and then use these conversions to plot the values on a horizontal number line.

Pupils create a bar graph. They will collect and organize data to turn into bar graphs. They create graphs for the favorite sports of the class, color of M&M's, and types of cars passing by.

Find the perimeter and area of different shapes with a helpful instructional activity. After kids observe the measurements of each side, they find both the perimeter and area, and write it down on a line for the answer.

Sort this resource into the Use pile. Scholars investigate attributes of quadrilaterals and then use the results to sort and classify the shapes labeling each figure with their properties to justify the classifications.

Students examine how the circumference, diameter, and the relationship of Pi of a circle are related. They count the summer rings of a tree to determine its growth.

Sixth graders create slideshows of geometric terms. They use images taken with digital cameras or scanned from magazines.

Students use construction technology to identify and find relationships between the attributes of various quadrilaterals. They make and test conjectures about the distinguishing properties of parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses,...

In this angle measurement worksheet, students find the degrees of angle x when given the number of degrees in each of the other four points of a star (pentagram).

For this angles, area, and perimeter worksheet, students find different angles, area, and perimeter of different shapes. Students complete 8 problems total.

Students explore geometry by participating in a class card game. For this triangle lesson, students utilize playing cards with shapes on them which they group up and discard, similar to "Old Maid." Students complete a worksheet and...

For this congruent figures worksheet, students apply their math skills as they respond to 4 questions that require them to select shapes that are congruent to the 4 given shapes.

In this geometry skills learning exercise, students graph a triangle using the provided information and then respond to 3 short answer questions regarding it.

For this math problem solving worksheet, learners answer 5 problems in 10 minutes. The problems include a variety of questions that could be solved by students who have had geometry and algebra.

In this math worksheet, students find the information concerning the line segments and angles. They define the complimentary and supplementary angles.
