In this area worksheet, students find the area of ten figures that are drawn on a coordinate grid. Five of the shapes are triangles. Five shapes are irregular quadrilaterals.

In this composite figures worksheet, students solve twelve short answer problems. Students find the area of figures composed of various polygons given a sketch of the figure with side lengths labeled.

Fifth graders create polygons requested by their teacher. In this polygons lesson plan, 5th graders watch a video and listen to a song about polygons. Then, students take turns labeling various polygons and practice making polygons.

In this math worksheet, middle schoolers find the area and perimeter of the regular and irregular polygons. They pay attention to use the proper measurements for calculation.

This lesson is the fourth in a series of six that teaches basic Desktop Publishing skills with QuarkXPress. Other DTP software can also be used. In this lesson, young scholars will lay out an over-sized document (tabloid size) and...

In this viscosity and density pre-lab instructional activity, students define these two terms and determine how to find relative viscosity and the volume of an irregular shaped solid. This instructional activity has 13 short answer...

Learners investigate the properties of matter. In this properties of matter lesson, students observe containers of different metals and discuss their properties including density. Learners find the density of an unknown metal and of...

Third graders discover elements in visual art. In this visual art instructional activity, 3rd graders explore the use of line, shape, and color in visual art. After reviewing works of art, students create unique art pieces. Technology...

Acute angles, nets, and vertices are only a few terms that a set of flash cards includes. Among the 108 cards, two types are available; word cards printed in bold-faced lettering, and corresponding definition cards equipped with an...

Students compare and constrast fiber arts from a variety of cultures and time periods. They draw a patchwork quilt using irregular geometric shapes and bright colors. Students display their quilts as part of an exhibit. They are told...

Sixth graders derive an original formula for calculating the area of an irregular figure.

In this galactic fact worksheet, students read through important facts about galaxies, their shapes, and distances from the Sun.

Fourth graders find the perimeter of a geometric shape by adding the lengths of the sides. They find the area of a square or rectangle by counting square units. Students use multiplication to find the area of a rectangle. They estimate...

In this math learning exercise, students look for the perimeter and area of the regular and irregular shapes. The answers are on page 2.

In this scales and galaxies worksheet, high schoolers solve 7 problems including finding the size of galaxies in comparison to other galaxies and drawing scale models of the given galaxies to show their relative sizes and shapes.

Students examine the color wheel and work with watercolors. In this color lesson, students go over primary, secondary, and intermediate colors before watching a demonstration of watercolor brush techniques. They choose a shape to paint...

Students identify shapes that match specific shape descriptions involving a range of geometric terms and correct polygon names. They utilize a mathematics educational software program to gain practice.

While the lesson focuses on right triangles, this activity offers a great way to practice the area of all triangles through an interactive webpage. The activity begins with the class taking a square paper and cutting in in half; can they...

Students explore the concept of perimeter. In this perimeter lesson, students discuss how to find perimeter of various shapes. Students use the Perimeter Explorer applet to find the perimeter of various shapes.

Learners 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 tracks...

Young scholars use their hands, feet, computer, and rulers to measure the perimeter of objects. For this measurement lesson plan, students measure objects around the room and computer generated shapes.

Students explore geometry by using computer applications. In this spatial measurement lesson, students discuss the difference between area, weight, volume and other forms of measurement. Students utilize computer applications to find the...

Young scholars learn and review basic geometric terms, definitions, and theory, including regular polygons, lines, angles, points, etc. They make a tessellating stamp and create a repeating work of art.

Pupils get a bounce ball and find a Polyspot. On the teacher's signal, students underhand throw to a target. They keep their own score: one point each time they hit a target.
