In this perimeter and area worksheet, students solve 6 word problems where they must determine the perimeter or area of complex figures. Diagrams are provided and real world applications like gardens and carpeting are used in the problems.

Start a trend by using blirts and gorks as your standard unit of measures. The activity asks learners to take a known measures of blirts and gorks and develop a conversion ratio. Individuals use both perimeter and area measures of...

Young geometers explore relationships between units of measure and objects. Three activities provide varied opportunities to practice. Learners calculate the volume of two cylinders made by rolling a piece of paper vertically and...

What effect does changing the perimeter have on the area of a figure? The five problems in the resource explore this question at various grade levels. Elementary problems focus on the perimeter of rectangles and irregular figures with...

Learners follow a series of instructions for drawing and coloring different shapes in order to learn the difference between the perimeter and area of a polygon. Then they are asked to find the perimeter and area of a 3x4 rectangular...

These squares and rectangles have length and width measurements with decimals; can young geometers determine the exact perimeter of each? Using a step-by-step example as guidance, they show work to find the perimeter of each of these...

Have your class practice measuring the perimeter of various objects using this resource. Fifth graders place various-sized polygons in order (from largest to smallest). They use non-standard measuring tools to estimate the distance...

In this area and perimeter practice worksheet, students examine 4 sample problems and solve 20 problems that require them to calculate perimeter and area.

Students examine the concepts of area and perimeter and how they relate to a rectangle. They find the largest possible area that can be enclosed by a fixed perimeter and complete a worksheet as well as create a table of all the possible...

Learners investigate the concepts of area and perimeter with the use of chocolate bars. They calculate the perimeter and area of different size rectangle chocolate bars and record the statistics. Then students make a visual comparison...

Your geometers are used to finding the perimeter of a square or rectangle, so give them something different this time! With this lesson, small groups will receive a picture of a shoreline and calculate the perimeter. The website listed...

In this perimeter and area worksheet, learners find the perimeter and area of polygons. They use the proper formula to find the perimeter and area of circles, parallelograms, triangles, and rectangles. Students complete solve ten problems.

Leave no student behind with this differentiated geometry unit on perimeter and area. Over the course of five lessons, young mathematicians explore these foundational concepts through a series of self-selected hands-on activities and...

Students find the areas of geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson students find and measure the sides, perimeters, and areas of quadrilaterals, triangles, and circles. Students relate the measures to the others by using formulas.

Two students are blindfolded and each receives a cardboard square, one with pompoms glued around the edge and one with pompoms glued all over the surface. They identify what they feel. The class discusses perimeter and area of polygons....

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...

In this area and perimeter practice worksheet, students examine 4 sample problems and solve 20 problems that require them to calculate perimeter and area.

Fifth graders identify the area and perimeter of a rectangle. In this perimeter lesson plan, 5th graders use geoboards and rubber bands to construct various rectangles. Students use the formula to calculate area and perimeter of the...

In this area worksheet, 10th graders solve 7 various types of problems by finding the area of various shapes in geometry. First, they determine what happens to the area and perimeter of a rectangle when the length and width are doubled....

Young scholars investigate the properties of circles. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle. They identify the perimeter and radius length of a circle.

Does doubling mean everything doubles? Learners adjust the scale factor between two rectangles. Using the calculated measurements, pupils investigate the ratios between the lengths, perimeters, and areas of the rectangles.

Pupils figure out how to be resourceful when tasked with finding the area of a triangle knowing nothing but its endpoints. Beginning by exploring and decomposing a triangle, learners find the perimeter and area of a triangle. They...

Presenting ... the gold standard for a lesson. Learners first investigate a task maximizing the area of a plot for gold prospecting. They then examine a set of sample student responses to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.

Reinforce math concepts of multiplication, division, area, cups, and perimeter, with a mixed practice worksheet that offers five word problems.
