Students analyze the specifications and construction of modern boxing rings. They calculate the area of circles and rectangles by different methods. They compare and contrast different areas in the ring used for attack and defense.

Here is a challenging presentation which should be tough for even your top math learners. In it, pupils view 86 slides which take them through many mathematical concepts such as doubling, halving, decimals, word problems, and converting...

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

In this mental math activity, students calculate area, volume, perimeter, and convert units in two mental math tests of ten problems each. 

Eighth and ninth graders solve and graph 42 different problems that include writing various equations and graphing them on a grid. First, they create a table for each equation and graph it on a grid locating the x-and y-intercepts. Then,...

Fourth graders calculate volume. In this volume lesson, 4th graders calculate, estimate, and compare units of volume in English and metric systems.

Explore the concept of multiplication by using arrays. Classmates use arrays to gain a better understanding of multiplication. They break arrays apart to model the distributive property of multiplication over addition. The relationship...

Students practice calculating the perimeter of different sized rectangles. Individually, they identify the derivations of a function that can show the perimeter and determine how to minimize the perimeter within a fixed area. They use...

Students are introduced to the concept of perimeter. As a class, they listen to a lecture describing the derivations of a function that describes perimeter. They calculate the minimum perimeter of a rectangle and determine the numbers...

Learners examine a variety of real life situations in which they must access information, select an appropriate formula, and calculate an answer. A rectangular piece of grass provides an opportunity for the exploration of this lesson.

In this consumer mathematics activity, students explore a variety of topics in mathematics including simple interest, perimeter, area, volume, translating words into symbols, percentage problems and mortgage calculations. The fourteen...

In this measurement worksheet, learners explore methods to measure the thickness of foil. They write an essay on how they calculated the thickness of the foil, and the number of atoms thick it is. Students create labeled sketches to...

Fifth graders explore the concept of area using the geometry of selected objects. The laboratory for this experience is the classroom. The lesson plan focuses upon the objects that have four sides like squares and rectangles.

Pupils participate in a hands-on activity that shows the independence of perimeter and area for simple irregular figures.

Students visit www.explorelearning.com/ Website to solve problems in area and perimeter. Next, they locate the vertex of a quadratic equation. In groups, students construct application problems and exchange them with other groups to...

Students investigate how to make a good parachute. In this physics lesson, students observe the motion of parachutes as it falls and measure the time. They collect data and calculate the average descent time for each canopy shape.

Your statisticians draw several samplings from the same data set, some randomized and some not, and consider the distribution of the sample means of the two different types of samplings. The exercise demonstrates that non-random samples...

Pupils build a working definition of regular fractal, look carefully at the concepts of dimension and scale, and are introduced to logarithms. They solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial and error and using logs.

Middle schoolers build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by...

Sixth graders use newspapers to investigate fractions. They work in small groups to categorize articles, measure them with the grid transparency, and calculate the values represented. Afterward, they write a reflective essay on the role...

A home improvement plan can help adult learners preparation for the GED exam. They review vocabulary, prepare diagrams, complete a worksheet, calculate perimeters and analyze how to approach a story problem. They identify many geometry...

Sixth graders derive an original formula for calculating the area of an irregular figure.

Eighth graders complete math problems given in this lesson, where they find the perimeter and area of specific figures. They estimate the perimeter and area of shapes and figures and then complete the mathematical formula to find the...

Students, after reviewing the measuring of the lengths of sides of different shapes along with the calculation of their perimeters and areas, encounter what it means by the 'perimeter' of a polygon. They practice measuring units of...
