Finding Perimeter and Area
For this area and perimeter worksheet, students are given the equations to find the perimeter and area of objects. They practice finding the perimeter by measuring the sides of given objects and adding them together. They find the area...
Curated OER
Up, Up and Away
Tenth graders experiment with gravity and air pressure. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders build their own kits and fly it. They investigate the questions: what keeps a kite in the air and what are some important factors when flying a...

Mass Measurement
Middle schoolers explore geometry by completing a physics activity on-line. In this mass measurement activity, pupils define the terms mass, volume, and density and identify their relationship with each other. They complete an on-line...
Curated OER
Measurement via Triangulation
Students utilize triangulation techniques to determine altitudes of objects. An altitude locator is constructed and used to determine the height of a building or a tree. Tangent tables and formulas provide the ratio for the formula to...
