Here is a real-life lesson! Learners must plan the dimensions of a rectangular fence to reign in a runaway dog. They survey what shape and size fence is needed and use formulas to find perimeter and area of the fence. They explore what...

Junior designers brainstorm the elements that a bedroom might have, such as a bed, television, and dresser. They identify which items are needs and which are desires. They practice measurement skills in the classroom by determining its...

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.

Students discover the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its diameter. They find the length of an arc of a circle.Students use estimation strategies in real-world applications to predict results (i.e., interpolation...

Learners explore volume in relation to centimeter cubes and other nonstandard units of measurement using small containers. They will use hands-on materials to practice this concept. You will need small objects and containers to set this up.

Compare sizes of student footprints with those of elephants and sauropod dinosaurs! Upper graders make estimations of the areas of irregular shapes; students use grids to make and explain estimates within low and high ranges.

Students solve word problems by using basic geometry. In this geometry lesson, students use geometric formulas to find the perimeter, area, and volume of objects. Students complete a worksheet.

Sixth graders apply problem solving strategies to work with a real life situation in which they need to determine the area. They determine the area of chicken runs that are rectangular in shape when give a partial perimeter.

Tenth graders define the formula for cylinders and use it to solve real world problems. In this geometry lesson, pupils differentiate between area, perimeters, 2D shapes, 3D shapes, and volume of prisms, cylinders and spheres. They...

Pupils identify he proportion of a cereal box. In this algebra lesson, students define the relationship between patterns, functions and relations. They model their understanding using the cereal box.

Learners compute the area of triangles in a computer program. For this measurement lesson plan, students complete 5 easy, 5 medium, and 5 hard problems.

Students analyze and demonstrate how a circle can be measured in square units and examine how diameter, circumference and radius are related.

In addition to the catchy title, this lesson plan provides upper graders an opportunity to more closely scrutinize the attributes of plane figures. In particular, they focus on the similarity of different shapes. Both whole-class and...

Ninth and tenth graders calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They solve problems involving scale drawings, models, maps or...

In this geometry activity, students create circle, line and bar graphs using different comparisons of events. There are 24 questions with an answer key.

Most adults remember learning about the Pythagorean theorem, but they don't all remember how to use it. The emphasis here is on developing an intuitive understanding of how and when to use the theorem. Young mathematicians explore...

Get lost in the classifications. Using the backdrop of the Bermuda Triangle, pupils classify it by angle and side measures. They also learn information about the triangle and its history.

Explore types of angles and the characteristics of each. After observing a PowerPoint Presentation, learners tour the school facilities and use a digital camera to capture prescribed angles. Using the digital pictures and written...

Get creative juices flowing when you allow groups to figure out a procedure for how to find the area of squares and rectangles. They may use the individual patchwork blocks, or they may design one using the Design Template.

In this Care Homework worksheet, students solve a variety of multiple digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems that include fractions, decimals, and percentages. They demonstrate knowledge of geometric formulas...

Students receive a copy of a "Spaghetti Measure" task sheet along with the scoring rubric. Students preview the task and the rubric prior to starting the task. tudeThey determine the circumference of a circle of spaghetti that will...

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

Students compare, classify and calculate the area of geometric figures such as rectangles, squares, circles and triangles.

In this online interactive math skills worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding geometry skills. Students may submit their answers to be scored.
