Middle schoolers redesign their school to make it more energy efficient, and create a model of their design. Learners get together in groups of 5, and they take on the task of making their school more energy efficient. To do this, they...

Upper graders represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a two-digit number as the area of a rectangle with dimensions of the two factors. They find patterns for the number of different base ten blocks in a rectangle representing...

Pairs of geometry whizzes work together to determine which of three differently shaped cylinders will have the greatest volume. Pupils cut out the three rectangles embedded in the plan, and tape them together to form a cylinder. From...

Build an interest and appreciation for architecture in your young learners with this fun 10-lesson art unit. Engaging children in using their five senses, the class first observes the environment around them, paying...

Seventh graders examine the process of constructing a site plan map at archaeological sites. They discuss the process of mapping techniques and calculation of percentages, create a plan site map of a cellar at Jamestown, and calculate...

Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Students explore circles through the use of octagons. They inscribe a circle in a regular octagon and find the area and perimeter of the hexagon with respect to the radius of the circle. Students present their findings to the class.

Sixth graders analyze expressions and equations. For this algebra lesson, 6th graders write algebraic sentences and solve for an unknown in a one-step equation. This lesson uses the formulas for the perimeter of a square and rectangle as...

In this math worksheet, learners measure the length, width and perimeter of objects in their home (window, rug, table, blanket, door, refrigerator and student's choice). They notate their findings and make a little book.

Fifth graders build models. In this measurement lesson, 5th graders build paper models to represent square centimeters, square inches, square feet, cubic centimeters, cubic inches, cubic feet, and perimeter.

In this measurement worksheet, learners measure the length, width and perimeter of objects at their school (book, desk, chalkboard, door, window, piece of paper and student's choice). Students then fill out pages with the information...

Second graders measure surface area and perimeter using estimation. They complete a variety of measurement activities using Cheerios breakfast cereal.

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...

Eighth graders practice calculating the perimeter of different shapes. As a class, they work together to calculate the area of rectangles and triangles using the proper formula. To end the lesson, they determine how many feet are in a...

In this compound shapes worksheet, students solve 40 problems in which the area and perimeter of compound shapes is calculated. There are instructions and examples on this page, which is intended to be used on-line, but can be completed...

In this SAT practice test, students compute the area and perimeter of polygons.  They determine the volume of a cylinder and solve problems with exponents.  This one-page worksheet contains 10 problems.  Answers are provided.

Students investigate patters for area and perimeter. For this Algebra I/Geometry lesson, students explore two different patterns as they write a formula for the nth term of each pattern. Students graph their results and determine if the...

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.

In this right triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 12 different types of problems. First, they solve for a variable given each of the right triangles with the sides as indicated. Then, students determine the shorter...

In this geometry worksheet, students calculate the length of the sides of a given triangle. They also find the perimeter and area of the triangles given its side values. There is an answer key with this problem.

Students identify the effect the change of dimensions causes for the volume and surface area. In this geometry lesson, students compare perimeter, area and volume as they play around with the dimensions of the polygons. They discuss...

In this math worksheet, students create and solve equations with the help of Algebra Tiles. Then they apply formulas for geometry to find the perimeter of a polygon.

For this math worksheet, middle schoolers solve the problems after translating them into algebraic expressions. Special attention is paid to converting the measurement units.
