Students find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no creative...

For this Archmides' method instructional activity, high schoolers determine the area of a regular n-gon inscribed in a circle.  They use sine and cosine functions to solve problems.  This three-page instructional activity...

Your learners get extra practice using coordinates in calculating mid points, finding end points, deciding if points are collinear, calculations using slope concepts, writing linear equations, using triangles and quadrilaterals, and...

Fifth graders find the area and volume of buildings. For this architecture lesson, 5th graders look at the drawings of three historic Tennessee buildings. They use these to help find the area and volume of the building. 

Sixth graders solve for the area and perimeter. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders investigate polygons and use a formula to find the area and perimeter. They find the area and perimeter of various polygons.

Put on your thinking caps because middle school math has never been more interesting in this huge resource full of thought provoking questions. Written as a newsletter, the resource has 10 two-page newsletters with a variety of...

Sixth graders use different measuring tools to measure area, perimeter, and circumference of different shapes. In this measurement lesson plan, 6th graders measure parallelograms, triangles, and circles.

Just about every public building that your learners are familiar with has an access ramp which complies with ADA requirements. As it turns out, designing such a ramp is an excellent activity to incorporate slope, the Pythagorean Theorem,...

Acute angles, nets, and vertices are only a few terms that a set of flash cards includes. Among the 108 cards, two types are available; word cards printed in bold-faced lettering, and corresponding definition cards equipped with an...

Twelfth graders apply perimeter measurement to items found in newspapers and calculate the cost in terms of feet or yards. They share answers and explanations with classmates.

Learners compare two lengths using the area of a square. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using ratio and proportion of the two shapes. They solve equations by taking the square root of both sides.

Learners, using a map, drawing or aerial view of a pond, represent the shape of the pond using simple geometric shapes or fractions of those shapes. They identify the numerator and denominator in each fraction created.

Young mathematicians use fraction names and symbols to describe fractional parts of whole objects or sets of objects. They construct concrete models of fractions, and compare fractional parts of whole objects in a problem situation using...

Young scholars engage in a series of loco-motor activities based on shapes. For this loco-motor lesson, students demonstrate physical skills through races, jumping, hopping, galloping in circles, squares, rectangles and triangles.

Students analyze convex polyhedra through hands on methods. In this geometrical shapes lesson, students construct paper models of convex polyhedra and identify the different properties including the number of sides, faces and edges.
