In this circle learning exercise, students solve 8 problems: finding percentage increase, finding differences in area and perimeter, finding circumference and area.

Seventh graders explore basic geometric definitions involving angles, area, and circumference. To reinforce basic geometric concepts, they play a "lightning Flash" card game. Students discuss chores or jobs that require the use of...

Upper graders represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a two-digit number as the area of a rectangle with dimensions of the two factors. They find patterns for the number of different base ten blocks in a rectangle representing...

Pairs of geometry whizzes work together to determine which of three differently shaped cylinders will have the greatest volume. Pupils cut out the three rectangles embedded in the plan, and tape them together to form a cylinder. From...

Here is a real-life lesson! Learners must plan the dimensions of a rectangular fence to reign in a runaway dog. They survey what shape and size fence is needed and use formulas to find perimeter and area of the fence. They explore what...

In this geometry math review learning exercise, students respond to 37 questions that serve as a review of geometry skills.

Fifth graders build models. In this measurement lesson, 5th graders build paper models to represent square centimeters, square inches, square feet, cubic centimeters, cubic inches, cubic feet, and perimeter.

Students explore circumference and diameter. In this math lesson, students apply their knowledge of circumference and diameter to solve mathematical riddles. Students apply this knowledge to find circumference and diameter of various...

Third graders use whole numbers and fractions to make connections between abstractions of the mathematical world and the real world. In this fractions and measurement lesson, 3rd graders identify, quantify groups , and measure distances....

Junior designers brainstorm the elements that a bedroom might have, such as a bed, television, and dresser. They identify which items are needs and which are desires. They practice measurement skills in the classroom by determining its...

In this statistics instructional activity, students solve word problems using their probability and how many times an event may or may not occur. This instructional activity contains 54 questions that are all word problems.

Most adults remember learning about the Pythagorean theorem, but they don't all remember how to use it. The emphasis here is on developing an intuitive understanding of how and when to use the theorem. Young mathematicians explore...

Young scholars discover the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its diameter. They find the length of an arc of a circle.Students use estimation strategies in real-world applications to predict results (i.e.,...

This hands-on instructional activity takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable...

Students solve word problems by using basic geometry. In this geometry activity, students use geometric formulas to find the perimeter, area, and volume of objects. Students complete a worksheet.

Sixth graders apply problem solving strategies to work with a real life situation in which they need to determine the area. They determine the area of chicken runs that are rectangular in shape when give a partial perimeter.

Students identify he proportion of a cereal box. In this algebra activity, students define the relationship between patterns, functions and relations. They model their understanding using the cereal box.

Fifth graders find perimeters, areas, and volumes of everyday objects and state the precision. They work in small groups in order to take measurements, perform calculations, and write a group report about the investigation.

Students analyze and demonstrate how a circle can be measured in square units and examine how diameter, circumference and radius are related.

Seventh graders organize a 20 x 17 room with a given set of furniture pieces. Arrangement is to be based on maximum comfort and practicality. This lesson plan is a good way to teach and reinforce the mathematical concept of area.

This resource is composed of five separate worksheets on ordered pairs. After plotting each ordered pair, learners label each point, connect the points to create a figure, identify the polygon type, find the perimeter and area of the...

Ninth and tenth graders calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They solve problems involving scale drawings, models, maps or...
