Pupils design a fence for a backyard pool. Scholars develop a fence design based on given constraints, determine the amount of material they need, and calculate the cost of the project. 

Children begin by making direct comparisons between objects and putting a number of objects into order according to length. They are also introduced to measuring with multi-link cubes which allows them to compare objects which cannot be...

Geometers calculate the area of plane surfaces using the formulas for the area of a square, rectangle, and triangle. They develop the formula for calculating the total surface area of two geometric solids: the cube and rectangular prism.

Third graders engage in an enrichment lesson plan 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...

You and your class will like this lesson plan on using visual models to relate the volume and surface area of solid shapes. Learners construct three-dimensional forms using nets. They calculate the surface area and volume for each and...

Ninth graders operate a model to observe the type of motion that occurs at a fault during an earthquake. They explore the effects of several variables. Students measure movement, calculate averages and plot and graph information.

Students explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Students create their own data to graph and...

Sixth graders use problem solving strategies to determine the amount of gravel needed to fill the bottom of an aquarium that is 50 cm long, 20 cm wide, and 30 cm high. Students use centimeter cubes and brainstorm strategies they might...

Students use index cards, counting cubes, and their own understanding to identify how division problems can be solved by using multiplication. In this division lesson plan, students use their multiplication skills to solve division...

Help your young mathematicians completely master 10 by practicing one-to-one correspondence, number recognition, and recording numbers displayed. They make 10 with groups of two-different colored cubes and color in 10-frames to show how...

In this triangles activity, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include determining the measurement of various angles. First, they determine the area of a triangle illustrated on the sheet. Then, students use the picture to...

In this area and volume worksheet, learners calculate the area, volume, and length of sides of different cubes. Students complete this for 3 cubes and answer 3 questions.

Middle schoolers practice determining the most appropriate units for a given situation while measuring attributes of objects, systems and processes of measurement. They review the concepts of angles, perimeter, area, surface area and...

Eighth graders engage in hands-on activities to determine the surface areas of various objects. Using boxes, they cut them so they can lay flat and measure all the various shapes, which can be calculated and added together to equal the...

Students participate in a Mini-Olympics with measurements. In this measurement lesson plan, students throw items and predict how far they will go. They measure the actual distance and find the difference between that and their...

In this three- and two- dimensional geometry worksheet, 7th graders solve 12 various problems related to geometric shapes and measurement. They first use paper and a pencil to sketch the front, side, back, top and bottom views of each...

Eighth graders investigate the basic concepts of probability. In this probability activity, 8th graders learn the associated probability. They work with spinners, colored cubes in a bag, flip coins, and choose colored candies while they...

In this volume worksheet, students create different sized cubes and compare the sizes by pouring sand from one cube into another. Students follow 4 directions and reflect on their findings.

In this math worksheet, students solve six problems about 3D objects. Students also solve six problems about measuring 3D objects.

Third graders estimate and measure the length of a whole color-segmented, candy gummy worm. Then, as students bite off each segment, they estimate, measure and record findings in an activity log.

Explore the concept of building equations for perimeter and circumference. Learners use rulers to measure the perimeter of half a sheet of paper.  Then fold the sheet of paper numerous times, each time measuring perimeter. ...

Just how big would it really be? Young mathematicians determine if different toys are proportional and if their scale is accurate. They solve problems relating scale along with volume and surface area using manipulatives. The...
