There's no need to think outside the box for this one! Scholars measure the length, width, and height of various boxes. Results help develop the formulas for the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.

Help learners understand that perimeter and circumference are one in the same. Learners apply their skills to determine the perimeter/circumference of triangles, rectangles, and circles. They then use the same strategy to find the...

Hands-on investigation of Riemann sums becomes possible without intensive arithmetic gymnastics with this interactive lesson plan. Learners manipulate online graphing tools to develop and test theories about right, left, and...

Use several shapes to practice finding the perimeter and area. Each page presents examples of different items, including money, the floor plan of a room, and a parking lot.

Let knowledge grow bountifully like plants in a garden. Given a diagram of a rectangular garden split into plots, scholars determine the area of the entire garden and the areas of the individual plots. As a culminating activity, they...

You don't need a scale to determine weight. This activity provides a way to use the concepts of air pressure and surface area to determine the weight of a vehicle by calculating the amount of weight each tire supports.

How much can different shapes hold? The answer varies depending on the shape and dimensions. Individuals learn the formulas for the volume of a sphere, cone, and cylinder. They apply the formulas to find the volume of these...

Do your scholars have a basic understanding of area calculations? Give them an extra challenge with this irregular shape missing one of its length measurements. Using the given lengths, they figure the area of the entire shape. The...

Not all area word problems are straightforward. Here are some trickier ones to challenge your beginning geometers. They determine the area of two irregular shapes and one rectangle using given measurements. Remind scholars to use square...

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine area and perimeter of rectangles, given the width and the length. The one page interactive worksheet contains ten questions. Answers and hints are included. 

Elementary schoolers are arranged in pairs and view the video Math Works: Measurement: The Difference Between Perimeter and Area. They discuss any prior knowledge they have of the term perimeter and then brainstorm together what the...

Upper graders solve problems involving measurement of squares and rectangles to practice multiplication skills, finding area, and calculating prices and percentages. A performance assessment is included.

Learners find the area and perimeter of regular polygons and composite figures and examine the effect on the area and perimeter of a figure if the dimensions are multiplied by a constant. The nine page worksheet contains thirty-seven...

In this ratios for area and volume worksheet, students solve problems where they find the ratios for problems of shapes dealing with area and volume. Students complete 4 problems.

Investigate the area and perimeter of polygons in this geometry lesson plan. Young geometers use grid paper to draw a quadrilateral and calculate its area and perimeter. They also read The Greedy Triangle to identify the changing shape...

Test your scholars' knowledge of a multitude of concepts with an assessment aligned to the California math standards. Using the exam, class members show what they know about the four operations, positive and negative numbers, statistics...

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...

Students practice using the formula to calculate the area of a square or triangle. They participate in large group guided practice using simple area of squares problems then complete a series of problems calculating the area of rectangles.

Sixth graders fill out worksheets to find the perimeter and area of rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson plan, 6th graders color in the area and measure the perimeters.

There is only one area calculation problem here, and the explanation is detailed below; consider projecting this as an all-class warm up. Scholars assess a rectangle with given length and width, calculating its area. Next, they break it...

By splitting rectangles into four equal parts, scholars practice calculating area and determining side length. They begin by determining the area of each rectangle before segmenting it. Then, they use the space provided to split it into...

Seventh graders practice finding the area and perimeter of polygons. In this polygon area lesson plan, 7th graders brainstorm shapes and take a walk to locate shapes. Students record properties of shapes and use various shapes to...

Upper graders measure the area and perimeter of several items. In this area and perimeter lesson, learners engage in measuring area and perimeter in several scenarios. Full-group instruction requires students to listen to instruction and...

Seventh graders complete activities to further their understanding of area formulas. In this area lesson, 7th graders watch as the teacher uses Polystrips to model parallelograms. Students find the area of a rectangle and answer...
