Turn young mathematicians into landscape architects with this four-lesson series on area and perimeter. Beginning with a basic introduction to calculating perimeter and area using non-standard units of measurement, this...

Seventh graders practice finding the area and perimeter of polygons. In this polygon area activity, 7th graders brainstorm shapes and take a walk to locate shapes. Students record properties of shapes and use various shapes to make...

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

Students solve problems by finding the perimeter and area of an enclosed area. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between the area and the perimeter. They see how they relate and how to use it to maximize an enclosed area.

Investigate perimeter and area of polygons! For this measurement lesson, learners use index cards to create rectangles and trace their hand to estimate its area and perimeter.

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.

Students calculate the area and perimeter of rectangles.  in this area worksheet, students determine the area and perimeter of their classroom.  They complete a two-page worksheet by computing area and perimeter.

Pupils identify the shapes of different polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the same area and perimeter in shapes. They use the correct formula for the correct shape.

Geometers find the perimeter and area of rectangles. They discuss the definitions and characteristics of rectangles and squares. In groups, they use yarn to discover the perimeter of squares and rectangles. They count cubes to explore...

A 33-page packet focuses on fifth-grade math concepts. Learners practice rounding numbers to the hundred thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones, hundredths, thousandths, and hundred thousandths. They also compare whole...

Student sinvestigate the area and perimeter of polygons. They differentiate between similar and congruent polygons.. They identify the ratio and proportions of the sides and angles of polygons.

Students identify the effect the change of dimensions causes for the volume and surface area. In this geometry instructional activity, students compare perimeter, area and volume as they play around with the dimensions of the...

Students explore similar figures. In this surface area and volume lesson plan, students identify the relationship between the surface area and volume of similar figures.

Young scholars watch a video about a skating competition.  In 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.  Young...

Seven activities make up a collection of supplemental materials to reinforce graphing on a coordinate plane. Worksheet objectives include plotting coordinates within single and four quadrants, measuring straight and...

Test your scholars' knowledge of a multitude of concepts with an assessment aligned to the California math standards. Using the exam, class members show what they know about the four operations, positive and negative numbers, statistics...

Mathematicians compare triangles at different scales. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area and perimeter of triangles. They use the Ti to make observation of the change that takes place as the triangles are dilated.

Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

Take young scholars on a trip through history with this unit on the mathematics and architecture of the Mayan civilization. Starting with a introduction to their base twenty number system and the symbols they used, this eight-lesson unit...

The problem seems simple: find the area of the equilateral triangle whose sides are each length 1. In fact, this same problem is solved in 8th grade, addressing a different Common Core standard, using the formula for area of a triangle...

Students explore the volume and surface area of three dimensional figures. Through the use of video, students discover three dimensional shapes, their uses in real-life applications, and methods used to calculate their volume and surface...

Students discuss strategies for estimating information about various shapes. Once they draw and label four shapes with perimeters of 30 units, they calculate the areas of the figures. To complete the lesson, students offer written...

Students understand where the number for pi comes from. They understand and use the formula for circumference. Students measure the circles given out and the diameters of those circles and record the results on their worksheet.
