Fifth graders investigate data from maps to solve problems. In this data instructional activity, 5th graders study maps and collect data from each map. Students present their data in a variety of ways and calculate the mode, mean,...

Students practice calculating the perimeter of different sized rectangles. Individually, they identify the derivations of a function that can show the perimeter and determine how to minimize the perimeter within a fixed area. They use...

Students make accurate measurements and calculations of measuring the area an perimeter of a section of the floor accordingly. They use appropriate measurement and calculation strategies to write a complete a clear explanation for how...

Third graders create polygons with perimeters of 30 centimeters, use the centimeter grid paper to determine the area of each shape, and organize the shapes to make generalizations from the patterns they see.

Show your pupils that perimeter is linear and area is quadratic in nature with a short assessment task that requests learners to connect the graph and equation to a description about perimeter or area. Scholars then provide a...

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

In this geometry worksheet, students calculate the perimeter of different polygons given the sides. They also calculate the area of the shapes. There are 8 questions with an answer key.

A good mix of Pre-Algebra problems, learners tackle everything from proportions and equations, to polygons and circles. The sections are broken up by topic with a list of the skills that are required to complete the questions. 

Students learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.

Eighth graders complete math problems given in this lesson, where they find the perimeter and area of specific figures. They estimate the perimeter and area of shapes and figures and then complete the mathematical formula to find the...

In this area and perimeter activity, students compare area and perimeter of pairs of figures, determining which has either the greatest area or perimeter. A reference web site is given for additional activities. 

In this math worksheet, students take an assessment test of 8 problems related to the construction field of work. Students examine scale drawings and answer questions about area, perimeter and purchasing construction materials.

In this quadrilaterals activity, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include the quadrilateral family and properties. First, they determine the area of a rectangle given the perimeter and length. Then, students determine the...

Students explore a story about a room decoration activity to learn about measurements and area. In this measurement lesson plan, students listen to a story about a boy who is redecorating his bedroom. Students discuss the story and work...

Stretch your mind about triangles. Given a triangle, scholars consider a smaller triangle formed when they stretch three rubber bands from each vertex to the opposite side. They determine the ratios of the areas and perimeters of the...

High schoolers participate in a hands-on activity that shows the independence of perimeter and area for simple irregular figures.

Students create a mini city using proportions that fit a model human they construct using tin foil. They plan the city including a library, sports arena, living spaces, parks and businesses. When constructing the paper buildings, they...

High schoolers investigate perimeter patterns formed by a hexagon and a triangle. They will identify the dependent and independent variable and write a function for the relationship.

Students analyze characteristics of various 2 dimensional shapes and explore their properties and use various vocabulary terms to discuss geometric relationships.

In this parallelogram worksheet, students find the area and perimeters and complete a chart to show the length, width and perimeter for different rectangles with a given area. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

In this geometry worksheet, learners calculate the perimeters to the eight shapes shown. Students write their answers on the lines provided.

All the 2-D and 3-D measurement work you need is in one location. Divided into three sections, the geometry lesson plans consist of visualization of three dimensions, classifying geometric figures, and finding surface area and volume....

In this area and perimeter instructional activity, students compare area and perimeter, determining which shapes has the greater perimeter or area. A reference web site is given for additional activities. 

Have your aspiring contractors compute the length of two walls in a compound-shaped attic when given a scale drawing of it and the other dimensions. They find the area, determine the number of rolls of insulation they will need to...
