Third graders engage in an enrichment lesson exploring the concepts of area and perimeter. They construct new pentominoes that are 3 times the size of normal ones and then identify the area and perimeter measurements. They then create a...

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter, and area. In this math lesson plan, students use Shape Explorer to practice finding length, perimeter, and area.

Geometric shapes are the focus of a comprehension exercise that asks readers to examine a short passage about planes, circles, triangles, and rectangles, and then to respond to a series of questions about the article.

Seventh graders measure surface area. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders find the surface area of various geometrical shapes. Using a computer program, students compute the area of 2-D and 3-D...

Students compute areas of squares, rectangles, and so on and summarize the formulas for computing areas and explain how the formulas are derived and understand the reasoning behind them.

In this area worksheet, students solve and complete 20 different problems that include the measurement of various figures. First, they determine the area of each of the triangles, parallelograms and trapezoids. Then, students determine...

Upper graders investigate how to find the surface area when using two-dimensional shapes. They conduct an investigation in groups while working sample problems given during class discussion with the teacher. They also review how to...

Shape one's understanding of geometry using the resource. The sixth of seven chapters in 6th Grade Math focuses on geometry principles. Future mathematicians learn to find the area of parallelograms, trapezoids, triangles, and other...

There's no need to think outside the box for this one! Scholars measure the length, width, and height of various boxes. Results help develop the formulas for the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.

Assess your learners on the five themes of geography and the most important key terms and concepts from an introductory geography unit. Here you'll find an assessment with 15 fill-in-the-blank and 14 multiple-choice questions, sections...

To determine the dimensional change to quadruple the area, class members determine how to increase the dimensions of a square and a circle to increase the perimeter by a given factor. they then calculate the necessary factor to...

If cubism were a religion, would you follow it? Lower-level tasks focus primarily on counting the number cubes in a structure and relating the number to surface area. As learners progress to higher-level tasks, isometric drawings and...

Students find the area of polygons.  In this area of polygons lesson, students find the area of parallelograms, rectangles, squares, and other polygons.  They identify each given figure and determine the appropriate formula...

Students calculate the perimeter and area of given figures and lengths.

The interactive lesson featured here calls for the use of a Smartboard for sorting and classifying shapes. Then, pupils discuss the rules they followed for sorting their shapes, particularly focusing on the properties of angles. While...

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.

In this mathematics worksheet, students give the area and perimeter of each polygon illustrated on the sheet. There are six different polygons to measure on the sheet.

Geometric shapes make great visual models for introducing young mathematicians to the concept of fractions. Looking at a series of four circles, students are asked to determine whether or not one half of each circle is shaded. To support...

Try five problems on triangles. Levels A and B focus on shapes that can be created from right triangles. Level C touches upon the relationship between the area of a six-pointed star and the area of each triangle of which it is composed....

In this Pick's Theorem learning exercise, students solve and graph 6 different problems that include using Pick's Theorem to solve. First, they use Pick's Theorem to determine the area of the shapes given as well as their own shapes...

Identify the nets for prisms and other geometric shapes. Learners calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism then sketch the shapes of prisms and other polygons. Unfolded cereal boxes are used as a visual aid, great idea!

In this area of a parallelogram activity, 10th graders determine the measurement of 10 different parallelograms illustrated. First, they multiply the base of the parallelogram times its height to determine the area. Then, students...

Learners draw the given shapes to be bigger than they are and find the surface area and volume of each shape. They complete this for two shapes.

Add a sense of excitement to your math class with this race across the country. Using their knowledge of all things circular, young mathematicians work in pairs answering a series of pi-related word problems as they hop from one city to...
