Curated OER
Water Treatment Plant Tour
Students define vocabulary related to geometry and calculate the volume. In this geometry lesson, students calculate flow rates, and volume as it relates to a water plant facility. They calculate the volume of three dimensional shapes...
Curated OER
Graphing Data
Young scholars graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry instructional activity, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They calculate the volume, area and perimeters of the shapes created on a...
Curated OER
Rep Tiles
Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...
Curated OER
Measurements
Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry activity, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.
Curated OER
Why are Bubbles Spheres
Students calculate the surface area of different polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students practice calculating the volume of spheres. They work with cones, cylinders and rectangular prisms.

It's Around There Somewhere! Perimeter, and Circumference
Explore the concept of building equations for perimeter and circumference. Learners use rulers to measure the perimeter of half a sheet of paper. Then fold the sheet of paper numerous times, each time measuring perimeter. Learners use...
Curated OER
Bubble and Boyle
Even middle schoolers still enjoy experimenting with bubbles! They execute a series of experiments enabling them to distinguish between convex and concave surfaces, explore the properties of buoyancy, surface tension, and density,...
PBS
Arguing over Area
With the help of the Area Officers and Perimeter Patrol, you learners will develop a better understanding of area and its relationship to perimeter. First, they view a video clip from Cyberchase, and then they visit a website to test...
Curated OER
Bubble and Boyle
Middle-schoolers still enjoy playing with bubbles! In this series of eight laboratory activities, science learners explore convex and concave surfaces, angles, gas laws, buoyancy, density and more!
