Given a very realistic challenge, your young geometers design residential fish tanks in rectangular and triangular prism shapes. They compute the volume of water each will hold. They also determine the size of plastic covers for each...

Young mathematicians calculate the area of polygons in this algebra lesson. They find the determinant as they calculate the areas for triangles and quadrilaterals. They also use scalar multiplication to find the determinant.

Learners investigate the special properties of an altitude, a median, and an angle bisector and explore how these special segments divide the area of a triangle. The dynamic nature of Cabri Jr. allows pupils to form and verify conjectures.

Pupils explore the midsegment of a triangle in the geometry instructional activity. They draw and measure the segment joining the midpoints of the two sides of a triangle and compare its length to the length of the third side of the...

Pupils examine the centroid of a triangle as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and its medians. The dynamic nature of the software allows learners to measure the lengths of the segments in the triangle and conjecture and verify...

Students identify important properties of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between medians, bisectors and altitudes in a triangle. They identify the properties of these important segments.

Here is a lesson that has learners take a look at corresponding parts of similar triangles, ratios of similarity, reductions and enlargements. They'll manipulate the scale factor (r) to observe the changes in similar triangles and then...

Learners follow detailed directions to create triangles on their graphing calculator. In this properties of triangles lesson, they will create triangles on their calculators using the Cabri Jr. application. They then identify three...

Teach your pupils to calculate the area of different polygons. Learners create formulas to solve their problems. They use the TI navigator to graph their shapes and observe the change in area.

Tenth graders are provided instructions, including a video, on calculating the surface area of a prism. The one-page interactive worksheet contains two worked questions. Answers are included. 

Give your scholars the support they need to work with formulas. A reference page offers definitions and picture examples of perimeter, area, surface area, volume, the Pythagorean theorem, a variety of shapes, and more. 

In this square roots worksheet, 8th graders solve 14 different types of problems to include determining the square root of a number of problems, determining the area of a rectangle and the length of a side of a square with the same...

Measure health as a triangle, with each side representing different aspects of health: physical, emotional/mental, and social. High schoolers complete a self-assessment of their health in all three areas before scoring their progress and...

In this area worksheet, students find the area of a triangle given the height and the base. They also find the height or base given the area of the triangle. 

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.

In this Heron's or Hero's formula for area of scalene triangle activity, learners solve 4 word problems using the formula given for area of a triangle.

In this online math learning exercise, students find the height of 5 triangles given their area. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

Eighth graders practice calculating the perimeter of different shapes. As a class, they work together to calculate the area of rectangles and triangles using the proper formula. To end the lesson, they determine how many feet are in a...

Young mathematicians represent a triangle with a matrix and use the determinant to find the area of three given triangles. Learners also verify the formula for area of a triangle. 

In this Algebra II/Trigonometry worksheet, students use trigonometry to determine the area of a triangle or a parallelogram.  The one page worksheet contains ten problems.  Answers are not provided. 

Students are introduced to The Geometer's Sketchpad software while in the computer lab. They focus on triangles, horizontal lines, vertex and top parallel lines. Each student utilizes geometry to complete basic geometric constructions.

In this online math worksheet, students determine the area of shaded regions within rectangles and triangles. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A...

In this calculating area worksheet, students use their problem solving skills and the information provided to find the area of 6 triangles.

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.
