Students explore perimeter and area of rectangles. In this rectangular lesson, students use tiles to discover the formulas for perimeter and area. Students solve for area.

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

Students explore multiplying polynomials. They observe solving polynomials using the standard order of operations, FOIL, and the box method. Throughout the demonstration, students explore strategies of solving word problems such as...

In this measurement lesson, students follow the instructions to draw a sandbox on a grid. Students also respond to 2 short answer questions regarding the area question.

Seventh graders research the World Wide Web to research and plan a garden for their school. They draw a scale model of the garden, determine the cost, and create a presentation to promote their garden plan.

In this algebraic equations worksheet, 9th graders solve 10 different problems that include solving various types of algebraic equations. First, they determine the equation of a line and solve the absolute value of an inequality shown....

Fifth graders practice, with spreadsheets, to demonstrate how to determine the number of tiles needed to create a patio. They use pictures and gathered data to determine a pattern that can be used to solve problems. Students create a...

For this geometry worksheet, students read a scenario and translate it using geometric concepts to find their answers. There are 15 questions with an answer key.

Fifth graders find perimeters, areas, and volumes of everyday objects and state the precision. They work in small groups in order to take measurements, perform calculations, and write a group report about the investigation.

In these area, perimeter, and volume worksheets, students complete 5 worksheets of activities to help them find area, perimeter, and volume of figures. Students complete 17 activities.

Students discuss how big is big. They compare the area and perimeter of an acre and a football field.

Middle schoolers study and observe the patterns made by the areas of the Sierpinski Triangle. Students use the computer to draw two or three iterations to discover the number patterns. Middle schoolers complete worksheets based on...

Students model and solve a real-world problem by constructing the centroid of a triangle. They explore relationships of the medians of a triangle and investigate how the centroid partitions each of the medians. Students investigate...

Young scholars investigate octagons using words and shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students discuss the shape of an octagon using physical and symbolic models. They make conjecture about the shape and relate it to the real world.

Third graders use the book "The Greedy Triangle" to practice measuring perimeter and area. They also calculate the length of objects.

Eighth graders use concrete and graphic models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, area, surface area, circumference, and volume of two- and three-dimensional shapes. This lesson is a fun way to practice measurement and circle and...

Students explore how the Pythagorean Theorem works and how to apply it.

Students are introduced to the Pythagorean theorem. They use three different activities that give students the opportuntiy to observe triangles, and use the Pythagorean theorem and practice different ways of determining areas of...

Students identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry lesson, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

Students use the relationship between volume and surface area to construct a box out of a piece of paper that maximizes volume using a table and by using graphing and calculus techniques.

Students challenge "common knowledge" against newly learned estimation strategies and put those strategies into use. They consider variables in estimating different groups of objects and practice skills of representing numbers.

In this math worksheet, students find the area of 6 rectangles. Although the title indicates otherwise, students are not asked to calculate perimeters. There is no instruction on the page.

Eighth graders practice using basic measurements to solve word problems.They also investigate finding the perimeter of different polygons and define the characteristics to classify the shape as a polygon.
