By working together, pairs of students will complete a Pi webquest. Using the internet, they examine the ways people in the Ancient Civilizations of Egypt, Babylonia and Greece used Pi. To end the activity, they review the concepts of...

Students use Geometers SketchPad to find the area and perimeter of several shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students determine area of rectangles and progress through irregular polygons. None of the referenced worksheets are...

You literally need to use the resource. Young mathematicians solve geometric problems by using literal equations. They go on to solve distance/rate/time problems by using literal equations — a great progression that helps introduce the...

Performance task questions are the most difficult to write. Use this assessment so you don't have to! These questions assess factoring quadratics, modeling with quadratics, and key features of quadratic graphs. All questions require...

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

The ABCs of math are so important. Find commonly used math terms in a 42-page packet. Each page has the word, a place to write the definition, and a place to give specific examples of the term. A must-have for all math classrooms!

Watch the damage from a forest fire in this interactive simulation activity that challenges learners to estimate the burn area using different approaches. Learners are given a worksheet to track the different burn patterns and practice...

Fourth graders investigate the concepts of area and perimeter, and they practice finding the values in various types of situations. They construct different representations of shapes using the area measurements and also explain the...

Mathematicians compare triangles at different scales. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area and perimeter of triangles. They use the Ti to make observation of the change that takes place as the triangles are dilated.

Learn how to identify the diameter and circumference of a circle. Then, collect data on a circle and relate it to the diameter and circumference of a circle. Last, plot data and find the line of best fit.

In this quadrilaterals activity, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include the quadrilateral family and properties. First, they determine the area of a rectangle given the perimeter and length. Then, students determine the...

Eighth graders use concrete and graphic models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, area, surface area, circumference, and volume of two- and three-dimensional shapes. This lesson is a fun way to practice measurement and circle and...

Fifth graders investigate data from maps to solve problems. In this data lesson, 5th graders study maps and collect data from each map. Students present their data in a variety of ways and calculate the mode, mean, median, and range.

Students practice calculating the perimeter of different sized rectangles. Individually, they identify the derivations of a function that can show the perimeter and determine how to minimize the perimeter within a fixed area. They use...

Students make accurate measurements and calculations of measuring the area an perimeter of a section of the floor accordingly. They use appropriate measurement and calculation strategies to write a complete a clear explanation for how...

Third graders create polygons with perimeters of 30 centimeters, use the centimeter grid paper to determine the area of each shape, and organize the shapes to make generalizations from the patterns they see.

In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the perimeter of different polygons given the sides. They also calculate the area of the shapes. There are 8 questions with an answer key.

Students are introduced to the Pythagoras' Theorem and its history, proofs and practice in application. Students find perimeters, areas and volume of everyday objects. Students state and explain the theory.

A good mix of Pre-Algebra problems, learners tackle everything from proportions and equations, to polygons and circles. The sections are broken up by topic with a list of the skills that are required to complete the questions.
