Students explore how the Pythagorean Theorem works and how to apply it.

Students are introduced to the Pythagorean theorem. They use three different activities that give students the opportuntiy to observe triangles, and use the Pythagorean theorem and practice different ways of determining areas of...

Seventh graders research the World Wide Web to research and plan a garden for their school. They draw a scale model of the garden, determine the cost, and create a presentation to promote their garden plan.

Sixth graders investigate surface area.  In this surface area lesson, 6th graders design a box of candy that has a volume of 30 cubic inches.  Students are trying to minimize surface area while keeping volume constant. ...

In this trigonometric word problems worksheet, 10th graders solve 16 different problems that include various trigonometric situations. First, they determine at what angle a ladder makes with the ground. Then, students determine the...

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students read the instructions and study the examples to learn how to find the area and perimeter of a square. Students solve 30 problems. This page is intended as an online activity, but may be...

Fourth graders measure the perimeters of several different rooms. They convert the measurements using ratios that allow them to draw the rooms to scale on paper. They draw the dimensions of a house to scale. They measure length to the...

For this area and perimeter worksheet, learners complete a set of 6 problems, finding area of rectangles and area and perimeter of squares. 

Young scholars, in groups, estimate measurments and then select the tools needed and measure various items at Black Bayou Lake refuge.

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

Young scholars identify real world problems from given story problems. In this story problem lesson, students find places, events or items in the school environment that can be used to create story problems. Young scholars take a picture...

Design and build a rover ... then eat it? This activity has groups of two design and build Mars rovers. The teams determine what instruments they want to include with their rover and plan a budget. They calculate the cost of the body of...

Students, after reviewing the measuring of the lengths of sides of different shapes along with the calculation of their perimeters and areas, encounter what it means by the 'perimeter' of a polygon. They practice measuring units of...

In this drawing plans to scale worksheet, students examine how to convert small scale drawings to real life plans. They work with perimeters and areas when given the scale ratio. They complete 7 multi-step questions. They enter the...

For this math worksheet, young scholars will work with a coach to find the total area of a tree-house. Students will follow a step-by-step process and notes are provided for the coach.

Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.

In this geometric figures worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 18 different types of problems that include various figures. First, they find the area of the figures shown if consecutive sides are perpendicular. Then, students find...

Students create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...

Students determine length, width, perimeter, and surface area, and work with two-dimensional representations of three-dimension objects to design and write descriptions of their dream bedrooms.

Second graders participate in a series of hands-on, online and multimedia activities that examine the concept of area. They view clips from the animated series Math Monsters and discuss the purpose of area and how it is used in the real...

In this geometry worksheet, students solve word problems having to do with lines, angles, shapes, area, perimeter, and more. Students complete 57 problems total.

Students discover that side measurement is used in determining angle classification of a triangle. By squaring sides, they predict whether triangles be right, obtuse, or acute. They prove the Pythagorean Theorem and use it to solve...

Using the Twist™ application, elementary schoolers design their dream room. They follow the prescribed steps to calculate width, length, perimeter, and surface area in order to create a 2-dimensional representation of their dream room...

In this geometry worksheet students explore similar polygons and determine measure of missing sides and angles. Students use indirect measurement with similar triangles and determine the area and volume of similar figures. The seven...
