Visual models are excellent teaching tools when explaining equivalent fractions. Looking at a rectangle cut into twelfths, young scholars first identify the shaded fraction, and then explain whether the fraction is equal to one-fourth....

In this rectangle worksheet, students use their fine motor skills to cut out 4 rectangles and then paste them on a larger rectangle template.

Not all structures take the shape of a polygon. The 21st lesson in a series of 29 shows young mathematicians they can create polygons out of composite shapes. Once they deconstruct the structures, they find the area of the composite figure.

In this geometric shapes worksheet, students cut out the triangles on the bottom of the worksheet and then paste them on the rectangle at the top of the worksheet.

Explore how lines of symmetry help define different categories of quadrilaterals. Looking at a square, rectangle, trapezoid, and parallelogram, young mathematicians discover that each shape has its own, unique symmetry. Encourage your...

In this angles worksheet, students measure angles to make triangles and cut them out to make a Christmas tree. Students draw and cut 5 triangles to make their tree.

In this geometry skills instructional activity, students follow the provided instructions to cut out geometric shapes on the instructional activity and build 5 shapes out of the pieces. Students also complete a graphic organizer...

If only you had a Sorting Hat to sort out quadrilaterals. Learners sort cutouts of quadrilaterals based on their properties and attributes. A flowchart helps them organize the results of the activity.

Scholars use formulas for the area of a circle and the area of a rectangle to determine the number of pies a baker can make from a particular area of dough. They must also take into account rolling the remaining dough into a new sheet.

For this algebra worksheet, 11th graders troubleshoot the TI-83/84 graphing calculator. They review the proper process to use when entering equations and fractions into the calculator. There are 4 example problems worked out.

What effect does changing the perimeter have on the area of a figure? The five problems in the resource explore this question at various grade levels. Elementary problems focus on the perimeter of rectangles and irregular figures with...

Sort this resource into the Use pile. Scholars investigate attributes of quadrilaterals and then use the results to sort and classify the shapes labeling each figure with their properties to justify the classifications.

How much fabric is necessary for bunting? Scholars use given dimensions of triangular bunting (hanging decorations) to determine the amount of fabric necessary to decorate a rectangular garden. The task requires pupils to consider...

How many sides does that polygon have? Building directly from instructional activity number eight in this series, learners now find the area and perimeter of any polygon on the coordinate plane. They decompose the polygons into triangles...

For this shapes worksheet, students complete 5 different figures with various given shapes. First, they identify each shape illustrated. Then, students color and decorate each shape. Finally, students cut out and paste the various shapes...
