Seventh graders calculate the area of certain cages at the Miami Metrozoo after observing a teacher demonstration.

Students explore the concept of measurement.  In this measurement instructional activity, students collect data about themselves such as height, finger length, neck circumference, foot length, and other body measurements. ...

Learners determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  For this pennies lesson plan, young scholars work in groups to determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  They compute the probability of the head of...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders are given polygons on a coordinate plane. They calculate the area and perimeter of each shape, by counting the length of each square on the graph.

See how design and geometry go hand in hand. The activity asks learners to use geometry to design a backyard garden given dimensions of each feature. Scholars work with ratios and scale to develop an accurate scale drawing that includes...

Need worksheets that challenge your middle schoolers to apply their understanding of math? Problem solved! From integers, fractions, and percents, to algebra, geometry, and probability, over 100 pages of word problem worksheets...

Nurture a love of math and farming at the same time. Pupils apply geometry concepts, such as surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes and similarity ratios, to farming contexts. They consider the dimensions of bales of hay,...

Geometry is all around us—if we're only willing to look. The final three activities of the Fun with Solids unit continue work on surface area and volume. For lesson three, scholars investigate the formulas for spheres and solve a problem...

Take a look at some molecules that are so cool, they're polar! Scholars examine the effect polarity has on a molecule's shape and charge. Change up the view and choose between an opaque or transparent molecular surface, complete with...

Create and investigate nets for solid shapes with your class. They identify the different parts and faces of each polygon and solid then calculate the surface area and volume of cones. They use circle sectors of varying sizes to build...

Youngsters review different geometric figures and shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, pupils use formulas to calculate area, perimeter, circumference and volume of geometric shapes. They calculate the surface area also.

Students familiarize themselves with the construct and measure menus. They demonstrate how to use the Sketchpad Calculator. They draw a triangle and construct the centroid. They shade in each of the small triangles and measure the area.

In this triangles learning exercise, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include determining the measurement of various angles. First, they determine the area of a triangle illustrated on the sheet. Then, students use the...

Middle schoolers conduct a review that is done right before having a geometry quiz. They cover major topics that are part of the assessment. They use review cards as notes to pass to one another to reinforce the concepts before putting...

Student sinvestigate the area and perimeter of polygons. They differentiate between similar and congruent polygons.. They identify the ratio and proportions of the sides and angles of polygons.

Young scholars are introduced to the topic of area. In groups, they share various techniques to help them identify different shapes and work together to calculate the area. They use this same knowledge to determine the area of animal...

Learners identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry lesson, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.
