Young geometers and biologists investigate the math of nature in an activity that is just the bee's knees. Participants will study the tessellations of hexagons in a beehive, along with the natural rationale behind the specific shape....

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...

Twenty-five problems cover the topics of polygons and finding the area for various plane figures. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click the "View...

Explore different polygons and find their perimeter with this interactive lesson from T.V.411. Students see examples of polygons in everyday life and have immediate feedback to your responses to lesson questions.

Students will compare areas of different polygons with a fixed perimeter and find the shape that gives the maximum area

Students learn and practice how to find the perimeter of a polygonal shape. Using a ruler, they measure model rooms made of construction paper walls. They learn about other tools, such as a robot, that can help them take measurements....

Learn how to enlarge drawings, figure out how much tile to buy to cover a specific floor, and learn about area and perimeter. These and other lesson plans are provided, including a fun interdisciplinary plan featuring dragons.

In this activity, students find the area of regular polygons using a summation approach and compare the summations with area calculated by Cabri Geometry Application. They also examine patterns of finding area and perimeter as the number...

Test your mathematical aptitude with challenge exploring the concepts of measurement and geometry. Find the area of the windshield wipers to figure out who sees better in the rain, car drivers or truck drivers. An activity from the NCTM...
