For this area of shapes worksheet, students determine the area of equilateral triangles, acute triangles, and compound figures. This one-page worksheet contains 3 multi-step problems.  Answers are provided with this interactive...

Students calculate area, perimeter and length of rectangles. In this geometry lesson, students create different formulas for the problem they are being asked to solve. They use the navigator to move the shape around and make observations.

What properties does area possess? Solidify the area properties that pupils learned in previous years. Groups investigate the five properties using four problems, which then provide the basis for a class discussion.

Young mathematicians find the surface area and volume of a square pyramid and a cone. In what looks like a typical activity out of a textbook, you'll find an activity where learners find an unknown measurement of a pyramid or...

Help learners understand that perimeter and circumference are one in the same. Learners apply their skills to determine the perimeter/circumference of triangles, rectangles, and circles. They then use the same strategy to find the...

Students engage in a lesson that is about the concept of polygons and focuses upon finding the area. They use formulas provided in the lesson in order to solve problems given by the teacher for independent practice. Geometric figures are...

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.

In this area of a parallelogram instructional 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,...

In this online interactive worksheet, students determine the missing length of a geometric shape and then check their answers.

Parallelograms are pairs of triangles all the way around. Pupils measure to determine the area and perimeter of a parallelogram. They then find the area of the tirangles formed by drawing a diagonal of the parallelogram and compare their...

Explore the solution to a word problem involving area and perimeter. Learners read and discuss how to approach the problem. In small groups, they determine the maximum area of a rectangle with a given perimeter using a piece of string....
