In this mental math activity, students calculate area, volume, perimeter, and convert units in two mental math tests of ten problems each. 

Students solve problems involving triangles. In this geometry lesson, students apply properties of triangles to find the missing angles and sides. They identify angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal.

In this geometry worksheet, students are given a rectangle and a square. They verify ratios when given equal perimeters or areas. Students are given adjacent squares. They find the distance between the centers, and identify the means...

Sixth graders apply knowledge of how to calculate the area and perimeter of triangles. They determine why it is inappropriate to measure the area of land by its perimeter which is done in certain areas of New Guinea. They complete a...

Pupils visit www.explorelearning.com/ Website to solve problems in area and perimeter. Next, they locate the vertex of a quadratic equation. In groups, students construct application problems and exchange them with other groups to solve.

Seventh graders review the process of finding the area of a rectangle and complete a couple of examples as a class. They discuss what a parallelogram is and what the formula would be for finding its area. They listen to an explanation...

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

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...
