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.

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

High schoolers 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...

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

Pupils 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 worksheet, students work play a game that uses area and perimeter as the main concept. Then students complete the question for area and perimeter.

Students 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...

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.

Eighth graders use concrete and graphic models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, area, surface area, circumference, and volume of two- and three-dimensional shapes. This lesson is a fun way to practice measurement and circle and...

Students experience life as an interior designer. In this math lesson plan, students calculate area and perimeter in inches as they use problem solving skills to design a room.

For this online math worksheet, students solve word problems the involve circles. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific teaching tool!

In this accuracy of measurements worksheet, students solve and complete 3 different types of word problems. First, they find the largest area of pitch in the problem described. Then, students write down an inequality to show the range of...

In this measurement lesson, students follow the instructions to draw a sandbox on a grid. Students also respond to 2 short answer questions regarding the area question.

In this SAT practice test, students compute the area and perimeter of polygons.  They determine the volume of a cylinder and solve problems with exponents.  This one-page worksheet contains 10 problems.  Answers are provided.

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. ...
