Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

This lesson introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and

In this angles, lines and figures review worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 33 standardized multiple choice problems. First, they use the Segment Addition Postulate to solve for a variable given an equation for each line. Then,...

Students familiarize themselves with the construct and measure menus. They demonstrate how to use the Sketchpad Calculator. They draw a triangle and construct the centroid. They shade in each of the small triangles and measure the area.

In this measurement worksheet, 5th graders study the different triangles and then use the given measurements to find the perimeter and area for each.

In this perimeter and area worksheet, students use the given measurements to find the perimeter and area of the rectangles pictured.

Sixth graders determine the perimeter of geometric shapes with a grid at technology based resource. While looking at figures on an overhead, they determine how much border they would need to go around a figure. They also complete...

Learners expand their knowledge of quadrilaterals and identify basic symmetrical forms. Over three weeks, they explore the math, application, and discussion of symmetry. After conducting Internet research, students create symmetrical...

Fifth graders identify that the perimeter of a shape is the sum of its sides. Students cut some string or rope to make the sides of a rectangle. Students write the measurement of the length of the rectangle and the measurement of the...

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.

In this measurement learning exercise, learners cut out eight advertisements and then fill in the correct measurement requested on each one.

In this measurement worksheet, students cut out eight advertisements and then fill in the measurements requested of them on each one.

Student measure the length of the sides of rectangles and squares using inches, feet and yards. They determine perimeters of rectangles and squares. They then determine areas of rectangles and squares. Student compare measurement of...

Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid.

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

In these area, perimeter, and volume worksheets, students complete 6 different activities to determine area, perimeter, or volume of a figure.

Second graders participate in a review of how to use rulers and yard sticks while collecting measurement information. They measure assigned body parts and chart the data on collection sheets. They make a spreadsheet with the information...

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Decimals and fractions can be tricky - especially in word problems! Help your fourth and fifth graders solve these word problems, all of which involve real-life application and decimals or fractions. There are separate spaces for writing...

Take young scholars on a trip through history with this unit on the mathematics and architecture of the Mayan civilization. Starting with a introduction to their base twenty number system and the symbols they used, this eight-lesson unit...

Double, toil ,and double linear dimensions. Learners first complete an assessment investigating how doubling linear dimensions affects the area of pizzas and the volume of popcorn containers. They then complete an activity investigating...

Presenting ... the gold standard for a lesson. Learners first investigate a task maximizing the area of a plot for gold prospecting. They then examine a set of sample student responses to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.

How many different types of triangles can your class name? A discovery lesson guides learners through an exploration of the different triangle types and the relationships between their angles and sides. Using coordinate geometry,...

Students pace a Gunther Chain, a measurement used by foresters to determine distance and area. They discuss that pacing is individualized depending on age, gender, etc. They practice to find an average pace. Teams estimate, pace and...
