Sixth graders design rectangular gardens with a given perimeter and generalize how to maximize the area Students applying the formulas for perimeter and area of polygons. They analyze length, area, and volume and make relationships...

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,...

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.

Learners design a blueprint of a building. In this measurement lesson, students design a building on paper. Learners copy their building's measurements into the Microsoft Paint program and write word problems about their buildings....

Students create a mini city using proportions that fit a model human they construct using tin foil. They plan the city including a library, sports arena, living spaces, parks and businesses. When constructing the paper buildings, they...

Young scholars explore geometry by participating in a school measuring activity. In this perimeter lesson, students discuss the techniques and methods used in order to measure a large perimeter or geometric figure. Young scholars utilize...

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

Second graders utilize manipulatives (pentominoes) to demonstrate knowledge of: lines of symmetry, slides, reflections (flips), rotations (turns), area, and perimeter. This lesson gives students a meaningful way to practice these...

Give the most important people watching the Olympics a beautiful place to stay! Learners create a luxury hotel for the games using AppleWorks, fractions, and their knowledge of perimeter and area. The math lesson includes resource links...

Pupils learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.

Dominoes, polyominoes, tetrominoes, and pentominoes are the subject of this interesting math activity designed for middle schoolers. Pupils cut out shapes that are embedded in a worksheet in the plan, and experiment with them by...

Get creative juices flowing when you allow groups to figure out a procedure for how to find the area of squares and rectangles. They may use the individual patchwork blocks, or they may design one using the Design Template.

Junior designers brainstorm the elements that a bedroom might have, such as a bed, television, and dresser. They identify which items are needs and which are desires. They practice measurement skills in the classroom by determining its...

Students explore the solar system. In this planets lesson, students learn about the other planets in the solar system. They watch a video clip from National Geographic on the solar system, compare and contrast the planets and create a...

Students practice assessing how to apply the formulas for the area of parallelograms and triangles. They recount the contributions of Pythagoras and apply the theories of the Pythagorean theorem in a group project to calculate the...

Young scholars determine length, width, perimeter, and surface area, and work with two-dimensional representations of three-dimension objects to design and write descriptions of their dream bedrooms.

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

Students are given the task of designing an apartment. In groups, they practice estimating the area and perimeter of different shapes. After designing their space, they apply the same formulas to solving real-world story problems.

Students discuss current knowledge of pixels. They listen as the teacher explains their importance in picture clarity. Students view the "Pixel Mosaic Animated Movie." Students receive pieces of pictures and matching tiles which...
