In this perimeter worksheet, students find the perimeter, area, and volume of given rectangles.  This one-page worksheet contains examples and two problems. 

Students solve for the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify and differentiate between regular and irregular polygons. They use properties of irregular polygons to solve problems.

Learners follow a series of instructions for drawing and coloring different shapes in order to learn the difference between the perimeter and area of a polygon. Then they are asked to find the perimeter and area of a 3x4 rectangular...

Middle school geometers determine the area of a shape on a geoboard or dot paper and draw figures that meet given area conditions. Working as a class, they develop and discuss various ways to draw geometric shapes with specified...

With this interactive lesson, learners compute the surface area of rectangular prisms. They visit an online investigation applet and record data on the provided handout. Pair this lesson with the volume lesson by the same publisher as an...

You and your class will like this lesson 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 then...

Young scholars calculate the area and circumference of a circle as the lesson is presented through an animated Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. They then complete a project to review the previous day's material.

Have your class practice measuring the perimeter of various objects using this resource. Fifth graders place various-sized polygons in order (from largest to smallest). They use non-standard measuring tools to estimate the distance...

For this area of triangles worksheet, students calculate the area of 4 given triangles, writing total area beneath each. A reference web site is given for additional activities. 

Intended for use as an exit ticket, this worksheet can be used as an extension to a lesson, test, or even homework. Learners complete three tasks that involve finding the area of a figure in square units. Young mathematicians can be...
