In this line and angles worksheet, students explore basic geometry vocabulary.  They classify polygons.  Students determine the area and perimeter of given shapes.  They examine the parts of a circle, find volume and...

Students practice calculating the perimeter of different sized rectangles. Individually, they identify the derivations of a function that can show the perimeter and determine how to minimize the perimeter within a fixed area. They use...

Students are introduced to the concept of perimeter. As a class, they listen to a lecture describing the derivations of a function that describes perimeter. They calculate the minimum perimeter of a rectangle and determine the numbers...

Students practice graphing perimeters using graphing paper. They use different shapes with the same area to determine which shapes have the greatest perimeter. In groups, they make observations and record them on newsprint.

Fifth graders identify that the perimeter of a shape is the sum of its sides. Students cut some string or rope to make the sides of a rectangle. Students write the measurement of the length of the rectangle and the measurement of the...

In these rectangle perimeter worksheets, students complete two worksheets for perimeter. Students answer four questions for each rectangular pen they create for a dog and horse pen.

Students compare, resize, and check various shapes by size using a comparison mat from the MathKeys program. Working in pairs, they place three similar shapes on the screen and state which is the largest and smallest in area. They also...

Fourth graders discover that a polygon is a closed figure formed by line segments, and that the perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain lots of practice with...

Students identify polygons and calculate perimeter. For this geometric shapes lesson, students complete a worksheet identifying various polygons and calculating the perimeter of triangles and quadrilaterals.

A quick definition and the formula for finding the area of a triangle is provided at the top of this worksheet. After reading the description, 5th graders must find the area of the 3 given triangles. This is an excellent enrichment...

Students visit various websites to calculate the area of circles, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms. They explore math problems and play interactive games dealing with geometry.

Explore the meaning of scale in relation to actual size through this activity. Young mathematicians examine scale models and determine their relationship to each other. They also find perimeter and area of each model.

Apply concepts of scale and ratio to determine relationships in irregular figures. Learners determine the ratio of the perimeters of two figures composed of rectangles and circles. After, they apply similar concepts to find the ratio of...

Use rectangles to find distances. Given a rectangle and three associated triangles, pupils determine the area of the triangles. Scholars know the three triangles have equal areas along with the perimeter of the rectangle and two other...

Design your dream classroom. The lesson plan contains an exercise to have teams create a scale drawing of their dream classroom. Pairs take the measurements of their classroom and furniture and create a scale factor for them. To finish...

Building a home means mastering math. Scholars apply various math topics to situations associated with the construction of a home. They consider the volume of concrete needed for a foundation, the perimeter and area of blueprints, the...

Modeling dough and paper cutouts in science class? Learn about how relative age dating concepts, like the Law of Superposition and cross-cutting relationships, can be used to describe the formation of sedimentary layers.

Let there be plenty of light. For a perimeter of 10 feet, scholars determine the maximum area of a window composed of a rectangle and a semicircle. They draw diagrams and then write and solve equations to find the height and radius for...

Which is better for a harvest party, apple juice or apple cider? Are there many black bears in your state? How soon in advance do you need to plant pumpkins in order for them to be ready by October? Find the answers to these questions...

Make it complete. Pupils work through 16 problems to review factoring. The problems consist of straight factoring of polynomial expressions, solving equations by factoring, and applying factoring to real-world problems.

Elevate your fifth graders' understanding of math concepts with a series of vocabulary posters. Featuring terms concerning probability and statistics, measurement, algebra, and decimal place value (and many more), the posters are...

Shapes are so fun! Little ones explore, identify, and create shapes using tangrams or pattern blocks. The activity is intended to stimulate critical thinking while engaging learners through play and shape identification. Each child will...

Tired of going around and around for a resource on circles? Scholars determine the general equation of a circle on a coordinate plane, then participate in an activity matching equations to the radii and centers of the circles...

Here are eight real-life problems for your class to solve when learning to calculate perimeter and area. Because www.K6Math.com is stamped across the background of the page, you may not want to use it as a homework, but rather use the...
