Students explore perimeter and area of rectangles. In this rectangular lesson, students use tiles to discover the formulas for perimeter and area. Students solve for area.

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...

A quick definition and the formula for finding the are of a rectangle is provided at the top of this worksheet. After reading the description, 4th graders must find the area of the 3 given rectangles by adding or multiplying. This is an...

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...

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students follow detailed instructions about measurements, drawing rectangles on a dotted grid, then find the perimeter and area of each rectangle. 

Sixth graders use different measuring tools to measure area, perimeter, and circumference of different shapes. In this measurement lesson plan, 6th graders measure parallelograms, triangles, and circles.

In this compound shapes worksheet, students solve 40 problems in which the area and perimeter of compound shapes is calculated. There are instructions and examples on this page, which is intended to be used on-line, but can be completed...

Young scholars use Geometer's Sketchpad to examine the scale factor when in is applied to the length of a figure's sides. They look at how the scale factor affects the side lengths, perimeter, and area of the figure that result. They...

Seventh graders find the area of irregular polygons. In this lesson on calculating area, 7th graders use the adventures of Lewis and Clark as motivation to learn how to calculate the area of irregular polygons.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the area of irregular polygons.  The one page worksheet contains three problems.  Solutions are provided.

In this cylinder worksheet, students compare three different cylinders to experiment which one has the greatest volume. Students interact with rectangles as they experiment with the cylinders.

Young scholars solve problems involving area. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of an object and relate it to the area of the ocean. They define what exactly and area is and then solve problems relating to the real world.

Fifth graders apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons and use fractions to express the relationships between the areas of rectangles, squares, and triangles. They analyze various country flags and develop mathematical...

Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...

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....
