This article describes a new approach to teaching children more than just memorizing a formula to find area and hope they don't confuse it with perimeter. This approach involves a project with real life situations....

Measurement, perimeter, and area skills are exhibited while students participate in these hands-on lessons. Each lesson plan includes objectives, methods, strategies, a description, and assessment techniques.

Students make a series of geometric drawings of points, obtuse angles, rays, polygons, and the like. Each child is given one but not allowed to show anyone else. The drawing is then taped to the back of the child in front of them. The...

The students will find the area of each two dimensional figure on a net of a rectangular prism. In groups, students will cut out the net and create a rectangular prism. Groups will then discuss how to find the lateral area and the total...

This inquiry lesson explores the definitions of quadrilaterals and the properties of the diagonals of quadrilaterals to classify quadrilaterals. Young scholars will work cooperatively to justify conclusions. This lesson plan was created...

This lesson allows students to discover the number Pi. By measuring real life objects, students will get to see where the number Pi comes from as well as how the circumference formula is derived.This lesson plan was created as a result...

The purpose of this lesson plan is to help students apply math concepts concerning similar triangles and trigonometric functions to real life situations. The students learn how to take these concepts and use them to find measurements of...

This is an inquiry lesson plan used to review Algebra 1 objectives by applying them to geometry concepts. Learners explore the properties of quadrilaterals and classify them by definition. This lesson plan can be use in geometry classes....
