Students find the factor of proportionality in similar polygons. In this similarity of polygons lesson plan, students measure the sides and angles of polygons and derive a factor of proportionality between corresponding pairs of sides...

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.

Students relate Pi to a circle. In this circles lesson, students identify the different properties of two dimensional objects. They relate Pi to the circumference, diameter and area of a circle .

Sixth graders explore area and perimeter. In this online interactive area and perimeter lesson, 6th graders investigate why the perimeter of rectangles can vary considerably even when the area is held constant. Students construct...

Students design different shaped plots and determine the perimeter, area and shape of each. They compare the shapes that have the same area but may have different perimeters.

Students use their knowledge of area and perimeter to design a fictitious garden fence. In this area and perimeter lesson, students design a garden fence with a set perimeter. They are given the cost per foot of the fence, and determine...

Students create a rectangular garden using paper and tiles. For this geometry lesson, students investigate the largest possible rectangle that can be created given specific boundaries. They use grid paper to draw the rectangles creating...

Students calculate the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students draw shapes using different scale factors. They calculate and make sure there is enough room for te soccer arena through their calculations.

Fifth graders arrange the classroom using all the moveable objects and through the exploration of area and perimeter. They determine the area of the classroom, create and label model pieces of furniture using graph paper, and create a...

Students design a cafeteria floor plan. In this area and perimeter lesson plan, groups create an efficient lunchroom layout on poster board by using geometric shapes and formulas as the basis for their designs. In the accompanying...

Sixth graders investigate the mathematical concept of area. They are given a certain square footage and asked to draw the initial floorplan for a house. Students use computers to create the plan. To finish the drawing it must include the...

Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.

Pupils investigate patters for area and perimeter. In this Algebra I/Geometry lesson, students explore two different patterns as they write a formula for the nth term of each pattern. Pupils graph their results and determine if the...

Young scholars calculate the perimeter of shapes. In this geometry lesson, students relate properties of polygons to the real world. They find length, midpoint and slope.

Third graders listen to Susan Hightower's, "Twelve Snails to One Lizard" and discuss the need for standard units of measurement. They make a body model on butcher paper which they use to measure their body parts and complete a worksheet....

Integrate reading and math to increase your class' vocabulary. Read The Three Bears by Paul Galdone. Then have your third graders complete a worksheet containing math problems related to the story.

How much fabric is necessary for bunting? Scholars use given dimensions of triangular bunting (hanging decorations) to determine the amount of fabric necessary to decorate a rectangular garden. The task requires pupils to consider...

You'll never have to buy graph paper again with this printable resource, which can be used for anything from creating graphs, plotting points in the coordinate plane, or measuring the area and perimeter of polygons. A...

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

Students investigate shapes as the area changes while the perimeter remains the same. Students demonstrate the shape/perimeter/area relationship using simulations and physical models.

In this math instructional activity, students work play a game that uses area and perimeter as the main concept. Then students complete the question for area and perimeter.

Pupils culminate a unit on measurement with a focus on area and perimeter. They design a floor plan of their dream room on graph paper showing the proper area and perimeter. They plan the budget for their room and make a 3-D scale model...

In this geometry worksheet, 4th graders work with a complex figure. They calculate the length of one line in the figure, find the perimeter, the length of another side, and the surface area of the figure.

Students calculate the area and perimeter of a basketball court. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similarity and congruence of geometric objects. They test conjectures and use it to solve problems.
