Young scholars explore the concept of measurement.  In this measurement lesson, students collect data about themselves such as height, finger length, neck circumference, foot length, and other body measurements.  Young scholars...

Pupils investigate the concept of finding the areas under curves while examining the graphing for inscribed and circumscribed rectangles. Finally, students compute the area under the curve by using the left-hand endpoints. The examples...

In this geometry worksheet, students find the area of squares, rectangles, and non traditional shapes. Students complete 5 problems on this worksheet. 

Fifth graders determine how to calculate the perimeter and area of given geometric shapes. They use specific shapes to create a picture using a software program. They determine the area and perimeter of the shapes used in the picture.

Students investigate the concept area that is found between two curves. They find the area in the top and bottom curve and then examine the differences. The examples can be used for direct instruction and to provide a guide for helping...

In this perimeter, area, or volume learning exercise, students read the word problems and determine whether to problem solve to find the perimeter, area, or volume to answer the six word problems.

Students research Riemann Sums. In this area lesson students listen to a lecture on finding the area under a curve. Links to a song about Riemann Sums, and a song titled "Failing My Calculus" are included.

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of computing the area between 2 curves with respect to the x and y axis. They concentrate on using positive and negative intervals and find the curve while determining the...

In this volume and surface area learning exercise, students are given the volume of 4 figures and find the area. A web site reference is given for additional activities. 

In this geometry instructional activity, students find the area and perimeter of non-traditional shapes. Students complete 5 problems total.
