Geometric shapes are the focus of a comprehension exercise that asks readers to examine a short passage about planes, circles, triangles, and rectangles, and then to respond to a series of questions about the article.

Let your learners pick and create a fun shape from this custom template. Shapes range from complex geometric figures to the more common cube and prism. Each page can be labeled with your personal directions. Additional printable listed...

Divide and conquer the geometry problem. Young scholars consider how to subdivide triangles into smaller ones that have equal areas. They must apply their knowledge of medians to help accomplish the task.

As an assessment task, learners must determine the radius of a new tank that has double the capacity of a given tank. Task tests knowledge of determining volumes of cylinders and spheres.

Young geometers use the interactive website Cyberchase to practice calculating both area and perimeter. Real world problems encourage learners to discover that we use math each and every day. 

Students practice recognizing shapes while using gross-motor skills. For this early childhood math movement lesson, students explore shapes as music plays and they walk the perimeter of large cut-out paper shapes by playing musical squares.

Students explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. In this shapes and patterns geometry instructional activity, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Students describe the attributes of their shape...

In this perimeter and area activity, young scholars learn the formulas for perimeter and area and view model problems using tiles. Students work in groups to solve practice problems. Young scholars define perimeter and area and...

Gardens seem to be the go-to for area and perimeter word problems. In this assignment, gardening consultants advise Terry, who is helping his parents plan for planting. They draw the outline of a garden on a grid and then perform...

Pupils explore the midsegment of a triangle in the geometry lesson. They draw and measure the segment joining the midpoints of the two sides of a triangle and compare its length to the length of the third side of the triangle. The...

Students graph polygons using the name and number of sides. In this geometry lesson, students identify the formula to calculate the area and perimeter of polygons. They relate the formula to different polygons and shapes.

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

Discover the difference between area and perimeter. Learners are grouped in twos and threes and each group has one advanced/gifted learner to serve as the peer helper. They receive manipulatives to help them determine the area and...

For this area worksheet, learners use square models or grid paper, estimate, then find the area of given shapes. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

Students calculate the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students explore polygons based in their shape and number of sides. They find the formula for the area and use each specific formula for each shape.

Students examine the mathematical concept of area. These activities and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of this mathematical concept and will enable students to calculate the area of a random shape on a grid.

In this math worksheet, students look for the properties related to each shape and then fill in the graphic organizer with the categories needed.

Eighth graders practice solving real life situations involving area and perimeter. In groups, they are given specific roles in determining the layout of a flowerbed. They find the perimeter and area of the flowerbeds and determine...

In this fraction lesson, young scholars manipulate paper by folding it to create different shapes and sizes, they explore the concept of fractions, and discuss their observations as a class. This is a great lesson for getting students...

Students explore perimeter, area and volume. Using geoboards, toothpicks, and marshmallows, students create specific shapes. They are directed to use formulas to find the volume, area, and perimeter of the created shapes. In groups,...

In this perimeter and area worksheet, 9th graders solve 17 various types of problems, mostly word problems related to determining the area or perimeter of a geometric shape. They also determine the area and perimeter of shaded portions...

Students expand their thinking while investigating shape and design. For this early childhood lesson plan, students transform a geometric shape into another shape or design to develop math and creative-thinking skills.

Students engage their critical thinking skills to solve challenging math problems. In these problem solving lessons, student work with tessellations, weights/measurement, reasoning, surface area, geometric shapes, and algebraic procedures.

Students calculate the area of solids. In this geometry activity, students use formulas to find the surface are and the volume of solids. They investigate 3-dimensional shapes.
